If you are a graduating student searching for full- or part-time employment or internships be sure to attend the April 18, 2008 CUNY Big Apple Job Fair.
A quality recruitment source for employers, this major university-wide recruitment event provides private and public sector companies with the unparalleled opportunity to source from the largest public urban university in the nation. Throughout its twenty-year history, the Big Apple's rating among organizations remains exemplary:
- Over 96% consistently report meeting all of their recruitment objectives.
- At least 70% of employers are return participants. Because they know that CUNY students hold all majors and degrees, including Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, PhD's, and advanced professional degrees.
Participating companies seek diversity and CUNY's student body reflects just that: 30% of students are African American, 28% white, 27% Hispanic and 16% Asian. CUNY now enrolls students from 172 countries who speak 131 native languages. To quote some job fair employees:
- "Wonderful fair! Great turn out by CUNY professionals/students." — Con Edison
- "Every year we are impressed with this fair and this year was no exception. In fact, we saw nearly twice as many people this year!." — Peace Corps
Approximately 5,000 students and alumni of degree-granting programs from CUNY's eleven senior colleges, six community colleges, the Graduate Center, the CUNY School of Law at Queens College and the Macaulay Honors College will be attending the fair. |
