|
Business Career Services can help you connect with Alberta School of Business students, alumni, faculty and staff. Develop your visibility on-campus by participating in industry and career related events and programs. In addition to corporate-sponsored presentations, the office also organizes mock interviews and various seminars on job search skills, resume writing and interview skills. Guest presenters are always welcome.

Any on-campus event can be fully coordinated through Business Career Services. The Alberta School of Business has a number of different venues available depending on the type of presentation requested. Arrangements can be made to handle requests for audio-visual equipment, food and refreshments, etc. Costs incurred for catering are billed to you approximately four to six weeks after the function.
Hosting an information session allows you to reach a maximum number of students to talk about your organization. Such events are useful in increasing your organization's visibility on campus. Pre-interview briefing sessions allow recruiters and interviewees to meet in a more relaxed setting than an interview for an initial exchange of information.
If your organization is interested in hosting such an event, please contact Michelle Height (780) 492-2166. We usually require at least three weeks notice prior to the event taking place in order to properly coordinate and promote your event.
The Mock Interview Program is offered in September and January. A mock interview provides an opportunity for students to build confidence and practice their interview skills. Your participation in this program not only increases your presence on campus, it also provides you with a "sneak peek" at potential candidates.
Please contact our office for more information on participating in the Mock Interview Program.
The Business Student's Association (BSA) hosts a faculty specific career day called Career Connections in the Winter term as part of their annual Business Week. For more information please contact the BSA at (780) 492-2454, or bsa@ualberta.ca

Usually one or two representatives from the company are present to answer questions the student may have - many organizations choose an alumnus from the University to act as one of their representatives during these events.

Rocky Mountain Business Seminar organizes a conference during Reading Week at which corporate representatives are asked to make presentations to the students.
Business Student's Association hosts career related events in the Fall and Winter terms and a number of other student clubs organize presentations specific to their area of interest.
