By Nicole Mott ’10 Event: DC Career Fair When: March 4, 2010 Location: GAO Building, Downtown DC I attended the DC Career Fair a few weeks ago and really picked up a lot of good advice about how to make the most of a career fair.

The people at the Career Fair are interested enough in Bucknell students to take the time out of their day to speak with […]

I was one of the many students caught between the struggle of gaining both experience and education. Employers were looking for students to be well educated and to have the necessary experience. Well how can you do these two things at once? Inevitably, at some point one needs to give in order for the other to be gained. This is when I heard about, “that great summer program Molly did.” Well this “great summer program” that one of my soccer teammates, Molly, could not stop ranting and raving about was Institute for Leadership & Technology Management (ILTM). She briefly explained […]

from Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes by kristen The term “networking” gets a lot of slack. Most new grads are eager to start networking but aren’t sure how.
