Nathan Davis, Mgt 11, attended last year’s Georgia Tech Alumni Career Fair looking for a position in finance, and he was especially interested in working for Home Depot. “The recruiters for Home Depot were [looking for] Operations and IT majors,” Davis says. “So initially I thought I was out of luck.” But he was wrong. He handed over his resume anyway, and he impressed one of the Home Depot managers with his Tech degree and work experience.
And that wasn’t the only interest. Within two days of his trip to the Career Fair, Davis had six interviews lined up; four of those led to second interviews, and in the end he wound up with four job offers. He took the one from Home Depot, where he’s now a senior financial analyst. “I’d be happy to stay here for the rest of my career!” he enthuses.
For 30 years the Career Fair has been making these kinds of success stories possible. The 2013 fair will be held March 12 at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta. More than 100 employers are slated to be in attendance, all eager to recruit the best and brightest Tech alumni.
