How to Prepare for Career Fair (Tuesday & Wednesday)

We're looking forward to seeing you this week at the Employer Connections Fair at the Top of The Hop, from noon to 4 pm. Over 100 organizations will be attending to scout for potential employees. We encourage you to research organizations participating in the fair before you go. You can access the fair directory here. We also recommend using the Library's recommended resources to study up on organizations that are coming to the fair. Marketline Advantage is especially useful for researching for-profit organizations; check out the library's non-profit research guide to prepare for meeting with employers in the non-profit room on Tuesday.

Engage, give a warm smile, engage – no need to sound rehearsed, as if you’re reading from a script, but do come up with an opening statement that lets the representative know that you’re not just simply milling around, waiting for someone to come to you and do all the talking.

“Hello. My name is Jane, and I’m a studio art major. I read an article in the Brazen Careerist recently about your graphic design internship being one of the best in the country. Can you tell me a little more about what you look for in an intern?”

Even if you don't know as much as you should about a company, use openness and enthusiasm to spin a conversation in your favor.

"I understand you are hiring Analysts; what's a typical day look like for an Analyst?"

Be bold and pull at common threads. From your research, find things you have in common - maybe the employer is a Dartmouth Alum, or perhaps community leader of an organization you're a member of in college. If you can connect on a deeper level with an employer, they will see you as a person with a vested interested in their company, rather than just another resume in a stack of applications.

Good luck!

 Bradford Drazen '90 – News Anchor @ NBC 

Brad Drazen ‘90 has had quite an eclectic career arc. After majoring in Drama and English at Dartmouth, he moved to New York to pursue an acting career.  He worked (periodically) in theater, commercials and independent films. His tour de force role was playing Greg in “The Real Live Brady Bunch” Off-Broadway.  He then moved to Los Angeles where he continued to work (a little less often) in theater, TV and film.

In 1997, Brad transitioned to the world of broadcast journalism, and he’s currently the morning news anchor and education correspondent for NBC Connecticut. Since arriving at the station in 2000, his assignments have run the gamut from crime and breaking news to presidential politics and sports. Brad has interviewed newsmakers ranging from governors and senators to Bill Cosby and Dr. Bill Petit ‘78. He has several won several awards for his work, including four Boston/New England Emmy Awards for writing, producing and feature reporting.

Brad is perhaps most proud of the work he’s done in the community over the past decade.  The opportunity to make a difference while working with organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs, the United Way and Special Olympics is the most rewarding aspect of his job.

Brad also earned a Master of Business Administration degree from UCLA Anderson and has taught courses in marketing and communications at Central Connecticut State University and Eastern Connecticut State University. (Bio kindly submitted by Brad Drazen)

Paul Gross '73 – Jeweler @ Designer Gold

Paul Gross discovered a passion for making jewelry when he stumbled into the Hopkins Center Student Workshops Jewelry Studio as a freshman in 1969.  He had never even taken an art course in high school, so finding that he had some artistic talent was a surprising revelation.  He worked as a student assistant in the Jewelry Studio all four years at Dartmouth, learning all aspects of his craft.  After 2 years teaching school in Lebanon, Paul decided to try goldsmithing as a profession, first working for The Goldsmith, Ltd in Chicago, then moving back to Hanover in 1976 and establishing his business in 1977.  Paul and his wife, Peggy Sadler, own Designer Gold in Hanover, where he has been making custom designed and limited edition jewelry for 36 years.  He was won several national and regional design awards for his jewelry. (Bio kindly submitted by Paul Gross)

Eli Burakian '00 – Photographer @ Dartmouth College 

Eli Burakian joined the Office of Public Affairs at Dartmouth College in November 2011 as the official college photographer. Burakian says he never expected to come back to his alma mater as a full-time staff member but found the position to be the perfect fit.   While at Dartmouth, Burak majored in geography with a minor in earth sciences. Outside of class, he raced on the Alpine Development Ski Team, enjoyed the outdoors with the DOC, and hiked 1,000 miles of the Appalachian Trail.

Eli previously worked as a freelance photographer; has co-photographed books; and now is responsible for the documentation of the College's history through the visual medium of photography.  For further information, please consult the press release upon his hire. To learn more join us on Friday, March 29th @ 3:30 PM in the Career Services office.

Extra Drop-In Hours January 3 & 4: Get a Running Start on Your Applications

Are you a current Dartmouth student interested in applying for jobs and internships during Winter term? The first deadline to submit application materials for opportunities posted through our on-campus recruiting program is January 15 -- less than ten days after Winter term classes begin on the 7th. (These opportunities are just a small slice of the jobs and internships available to you, we bring your attention to them specifically as they have application deadlines early in the term.)

Career Services will hold extra drop-in hours early in the term to meet the demand, but if you really want to beat the rush, stop by Career Services (103 S. Main, 2nd floor of Bank of America building) on January 3rd or 4th for Drop-Ins between 1:30 and 4:00 pm.

First-come, first-serve slots to meet one-on-one with a career advisor will be available. Bring a printed copy of any materials you'd like to have reviewed during your Drop-In session.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
