"Why should I attend?"

Freshmen: It's never too early to start familiarizing yourself with the firms that recruit from Cal Poly and getting your name out there! Participating in these events will help recruiters remember who you are and how much you care about getting a job.
 

Sophomores and Juniors: Introduce yourself to firms and find out a little more about what they offer. Network and don’t forget to get those resumes and business cards.
 

Seniors and Graduates: Introduce or re-introduce yourself to the firms you are interested in interviewing with for full-time opportunities. Continue to network after the event so firms will know who you are by the time fall interviews come up.
