Career and Majors Fair

Career and Majors Fair

Annually, Elcamino College’s counseling department organizes career and majors fair. Essentially, the event plays a central role in the future of college student. Most of the junior students brush off career fair as non-beneficial, but I am convinced that it provides an outstanding networking opportunity. During February this year, I attended a successful junior’s career and majors fair at Elcamino College. The organizers aimed at equipping the students with the knowledge on different career opportunities and the degree requirements. Though my attendance, I got a chance to speak with several representatives of different companies.

            The main agenda of the event was to expose the students to the corporate world. In addition, it focused on assisting the students to make appropriate choices regarding their majors. Most importantly, the speakers in attendance highlighted the need for learners to be passionate when making choices for future career success (Gordon et al. 483). Some of the speakers in attendance included the managers of regional corporations including Mr. Lewinski and Mr. Jacobs. Moreover, the heads of academic departments Elcamino College showcased their different majors.

“Take time to choose your careers wisely,” Mr. Lewinski (human resources manager at TechSoft Inc.) said, “Some of us, though comfortable with our annual income, are unhappy at our workplaces because of poor choices that we made earlier in life. Thank you.” He concluded his speech as the attendees clapped to applaud.

The atmosphere was charged as each student rushed to submit their resumes to company representatives for internship consideration. I was confident enough to hold lengthy conversations with the potential employers and other career advisers in attendance. As the event wound up, I reflected in on my future prospects and how to instinctively choose my major. Overall, the career and majors fair was successful and I look forward to attending a similar event next year.
