Networking Night is guaranteed to provide you with the opportunties you have been searching for and help you establish strong relationships with recruiters and reputable firms.

Take this unique opportunity to sit down one-on-one with recruiters and connect in a personable way. Meet recruiters from Ernst & Young, Triage Consulting Group, True Partners Consulting, World Financial Group, Enterprise, Strategic Financial Group, CBIZ, Kaplan, Lockheed Martin and more.

As I mentioned at the meeting, this is an excellent opportunity for you to make connections for potential internships/careers, but more importantly put your networking skills to work! We send our sincerest appreciation to UCLA PBL for inviting us to this event! Be sure to thank the organizing committee for their efforts if you meet them.

Now, on to the details:

REQUIRED:
  • Business professional attire!
  • Stepping outside of your comfort zone to ask questions and truly network!

Recommended:

  • Resumes
  • Business cards
  • Pen & paper to write notes

Expectations:

  • Most, if not all, of these recruiters will be from LA offices. But don't worry, these connections will definitely still benefit you. I wouldn't mention it up front, but if you get some contact information, follow-up with an email and let them know that you're located in Orange County and see if they'll connect you with the appropriate offices.
  • If you're truly interested in any of these companies, please do a little bit of background research! Check out their career/internship pages, learn a bit of values and history so that you can ask smart and beneficial questions. Also, don't be afraid to ask them questions about company culture, transition from school to work, etc. Recruiters can often times be younger employees so they're in the perfect position to give this type of advice.
CARPOOL INFO:
  • Passengers should be prepared to pitch in for parking and gas money, please! Meet at the 30 minute parking lot by the TSU at 4:15pm! We will be leaving from 30 minute parking by 4:30pm sharp!
  • If you need directions to the location and are driving on your own, feel free to contact Michelle Nakaji at: (951) 205-9293.

See you tomorrow, Titans!
