On Oct. 1, students at the Haverhill campus had the privilege of attending the annual Career Fair.
This event featured a diverse array of employers from sectors such as health care, education, business, and technology, providing students with the chance to explore various career paths.
Students interested in fields like health care or business were able to gather essential information about the qualifications and skills required for success.
One attendee, Tristan “TJ” Taylor, shared their experience at the fair.
Although Taylor did not find direct alignment with their career aspirations, they discovered unexpected value in their interactions.
“Enterprise Bank provided a wealth of useful information,” Taylor remarked.
“Even though no company directly matched my career interests, their representative offered extensive insights into communications roles available at companies like Enterprise Bank.”
The fair allowed students to engage with employers and gain insights into the current job market.
While the event did not fully meet Taylor’s expectations regarding job opportunities in their major, they appreciated the guidance received.
“Most representatives were approachable and offered advice on how to break into the communications field,” Taylor explained.
Despite the limited direct relevance to their field of study, Taylor found new areas of interest they had not initially considered.
“Enterprise Bank piqued my interest, especially when their representative discussed their communications department,” Taylor shared.
Reflecting on the experience, Taylor emphasized the importance of maintaining an open mind during events like the Career Fair.
“The key takeaway is that some companies may not initially seem relevant to your interests, but they might offer unexpected opportunities. Therefore, it’s crucial to keep all doors open when considering future prospects,” they concluded.
While not every student left with a clear career path, the Career Fair succeeded in providing valuable networking opportunities and underscoring the importance of adaptability in the job search process.
Through these interactions, many students gained new perspectives on how to approach their career goals.
