WP Carey Spring Career and Internship Fair.


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.
