Location

EIEP Lounge, 2260 SELE

Address

842 W. Taylor St., Chicago, IL 60607

Three people in business suits. One person has a hand on their hip and is holding a phone up to their ear with the other. The other two people have quizzical looks on their faces. Around them are details about the PERSIST(Σ) Vibe Check event.

When looking for jobs and internships, make sure the employer meets your needs! For example, do you prioritize compensation over location? Or perhaps you would prefer a strong company culture over company brand recognition? Maybe you want to work at a company that is giving back to communities that matter to you. Evaluating various aspects of a company will not only help you land the job, but also help you begin a fulfilling career at a workplace you enjoy.

Come learn ways to identify your desired values in a workplace and develop meaningful questions to ask recruiters at the Fall Engineering and Technology Career Fair.

Lunch will be provided!
