Subject: FW: IC Virtual Fair Hi Folks, A flyer for the Fall 2014 IC Virtual Career Fair is enclosed for your distribution. Registration is open now; the event is on 23 SEP. I recommend you have a targeted distribution to students. In the past, the kids who have benefitted the most are those who already know a thing or two about what they want to do, i.e. have done some research in terms of where their skill sets and interests best fit within particular offices/functional area within a few agencies ... and have already prepped their resumes accordingly. The target audience is exceptional students looking for internships, co-ops, fellowships, or other student opportunities within the IC. Kids should not participate if they are looking for general information; they can just read agencies' "student opportunities" web sites for that. On the other hand, students who have already interned for the IC won't get anything out of this. The other thing we all have to be honest about is GPAs and student performance in terms of their chances for an IC internship. From what I've seen, kids with lower than a 3.7 in humanities and 3.2 in STEM have a hard time getting even a first look.
The flyer is here.
