More Than 130 Companies Covet Student Jobseekers at
Fall Career Fair
|
|
|
These challenging economic times haven't stopped companies from seeking
engineers, scientists and mathematicians to develop new products, streamline
production processes and answer problems.

In Demand: Companies and their representatives filled Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology's field house of the Sports and Recreation
Center to meet students during the fall career fair on Oct. 7. |
That's why more than 132 companies from throughout the country came to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's
fall career fair on Oct. 7. The event was well attended by students
throughout the day.
Kevin Hewerdine, director of career services and employer relations, states
that Rose-Hulman students must take a more aggressive approach in seeking job
prospects and start their job searches now if they want to be employed next
summer. He adds that many employers are still cautious about hiring at this
time. Corporations are taking resumes and conducting interviews now in hopes
of filling job openings early in 2010.
Companies attending the fall career fair included Allison
Transmission, Beckman Coulter, Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, Cummins,
Delphi Corporation, Dow Chemical, Duke Energy, Eli Lilly and Company,
Frito-Lay, General Electric, Honeywell/UOP, Johnson & Johnson, Marathon,
Northrop Grumman, Owens-Illinois, Procter & Gamble, Raytheon, Rockwell
Collins, Rolls-Royce, Siemens Energy and Texas Instruments. A complete
company list is available at

Approximately 20 companies stayed on campus on Oct. 8 to interview prospects
singled out during impromptu career fair meetings.
Rose-Hulman's Office of Career Services helped prepare students for the
fall career fair and interviews by hosting a Career Bootcamp on Oct. 2. The event brought
alumni and corporate human resource staff members to campus to review
students' resumes and job interview techniques.
Rose-Hulman has a proud track record for career placement of its graduates.
Hewerdine states 92 percent of the college's 2009 graduating class is
currently employed, with several of the remaining young alumni working hard
to finalize career opportunities.
