The Career Center invites you to participate in our Career Audit month!

How does it work?

Interested participants will email us at mxglover@IndianaTech.edu or Memobley@IndianaTech.edu to receive a checklist that contains a total of 5 career ready activities. As you complete each activity, a Career Advisor will provide valuable feedback and sign off each activity. At the completion of the checklist, students will receive in the mail several prizes for participating. More importantly, you are developing yourself professionally.

Career Fair Week - Day 4

Career Fair Prep Session 

March 23, 2017 - 3-5pm

We will be in the office helping students with their personal commercial, dress attire and anything you need to do/have before you attend a career fair. Our staff will be using our Career Fair Prep Checklist to ensure you are ready to meet with employers. No appointment is needed, just show up.

If you are not in the Fort Wayne area, email Mariana Glover at mxglover@IndianaTech.edu to schedule a virtual appointment. I can review the checklist with you via skype, phone, email or any other method that is convenient to you.

We are here for you!

Career Fair Week - Day 3

After the Fair

•Send thank you notes to all employers

•File away the literature you have collected. It can be helpful later in writing application letters or preparing for interviews.

•Improve your resume if you learned something which better reflects your qualifications or focus 

Follow Up Letter Guidelines

• Refer to the business cards you collected during the Career Fair for employer contact information.
• Contact can be made through mail, email, or a phone call depending on your own preferences.
• Your message to the employer should include a thank you for taking the time to discuss job opportunities at their company, an expressed interest in pursuing a position there, an inquiry about the resume review and candidate selection process, and an interest in meeting with them to further discuss your qualifications.
• Though email is often a more casual form of communication, it is essential that you treat your follow up email as a formal letter (i.e., with appropriate headings, and a thorough spelling/grammar check).
