Tables lined both sides of the concourse at the Breslin Center and the arena court was filled with organizations eager to talk to interested students. 

“I like having face-to-face interaction more than me just throwing my resume online,” mechanical engineering sophomore Sean Lishawa said. “If I get my face out there, there’s a higher chance that I get an internship.”

Not everyone was looking to immediately be considered for available positions. Some students were using the event as a springboard for future career fairs and interviews.

When asked why she attended the fair, advertising management senior Sydney Taylor said it was to "practice for another career fair.” She was looking forward to a later event geared more towards her major, but found it useful to have experience talking with professionals and people in charge of hiring. 

MSU Career Services Network also supplied some amenities for students to assist with their professional careers. 

A LinkedIn Photo Booth was located at the Northwest Kalamazoo Gate, where students could have a professional headshot photo taken at no cost. "Career Coaching" was also provided to help students with their future goals, resumes and cover letters. 

Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical firm, presented a workshop for students titled, "Keeping It Real — How to stay true to yourself while talking with employers."

“Anything to get more in touch with employers is a pretty good opportunity, I think,” finance junior Brendan Elliott said. He attended the career fair looking for an internship and spoke with many of the automotive industries that were represented.
