Career Services Blog
Last month I attended the WP Carey Spring Career and
Internship Fair. Even though I am not a WP Carey student, I really wanted to
talk with a medical device company called Stryker. I was first introduced to
the company through my girlfriend. She graduated in 2012 and has been working
as a sales person for a payroll company. Even though sales is not my first
career choice, I have only been considering it because of the amount of growth,
both financially and professionally that is available.
I didn’t realize it, but Stryker was using the career fair
as a first interview. The recruiters liked our conversation and invited me to a
more formal interview. It was my first time doing an interview with a company
from a career fair and it was very interesting. First of all, I wasn’t being
interviewed for a specific position. I was interviewed by a recruiter just to
see if I would fit in to the company culture. Now, she recommends me to the
department she thinks I would be best in. I am not sure if it is an industry I
want to go into but I will see where the interview process leads me.
