same shoes and are willing to help.

A:We look for critical thinkers who possess leadership experience, are technolog-ically sound, and eager to both learn and contribute. We hire both technologyand non-tech students. Please feel free to peruse our jobssite: www.visa.com/careers
Q: What are the most common mistakes you see students make at jobfairs? A: A mistake I see too often is a student not doing his/her researchprior to the fair. Be sure to research specific roles on the employer’s websiteand determine candidacy feasibility. Recruiters are here to facilitate the jobsearch, but candidates should take the initiative and do some homework. Be
sure to also send a follow-up thank you email within 24 hours, attach yourresume, and remind the recruiter/hiring manager why you are awesome.
Q: What are some things students can do to stand out at job fairs? A:Solid elevator pitch, Confidence, Polished resume.

Q: How has your job helped you? What skills have you learned? A: I learnthow to listen and quickly catch the important information to assist others moreefficiently and effectively. And I improved my team work skill sets.
Q: What have you gained from working at your current job? A: I received two job offers from my dream companies and signed one of the 2017 fulltime offer
with Deloitte. I believe that my current career educator job greatly helped methrough the recruiting process because I developed a comprehensive understand-ing for how to prepare to interview and how to present myself more professionally.
Q: What advice do you have for fellow students? A: Always ask questions anddo not be afraid of making mistakes because that's the quickest way to learn andimprove. Don't be discouraged by failures because they are only temporary andsee them as great opportunities to grow and improve. It is always better to startearly and plan your goals in each stage of your college life. Remember to take
initiative and reach out to professionals. The more you talk to them, the moreworking experience you have, the more ready you are for the recruiting process.
