Meet the Firms is a career-fair style event sponsored by ASC. With may companies in attendance, this is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and converse with potential employers! This year, Meet the Firms will be held on Thursday, September 24th from 5:00PM to 9:00PM. Due to the on-going pandemic, MTF will be held virtually through Career Fair Plus (details below).

***Requirements for first email group***

About Career Fair Plus:
On September 22nd all students that meet the requirements will get an email to create a profile, upload a resume, and sign up for 1-on-1 appointments with company recruiters.
On the day of Meet the Firms students will then join their 1-on-1 appointments at the specific time they signed up for to speak to the recruiter. While entering the appointment, the students profile and resume will pop up on the screen for the recruiter to view. During the appointment recruiters can save your resume, make notes, and even favorite the student. Once done, the student will exit and go on to their next appointment!
