• I worked with companies that are interested in recruiting Central Michigan University students for experience, internships, and jobs. My primary focus was on compiling the schedule for each company's representatives that planned a visit. This included deciding what classes these representatives will speak in, joining them for lunch, providing assistance throughout the day, as well as following up with representatives after their visit. This benefits employers with the opportunity to recruit from an elite organization of students as well as to make connections with possible future employees. Students gain the opportunity to learn more about these companies, meet with employers who are interested in hiring, and may result in future internships and jobs.
