The Internship Career Fair brings 52 companies to UH

The Internship Career Fair took place from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. on Oct. 2 in the UC Houston Room. The event, which was sponsored by University Career Services, featured 52 companies.

“There were many good companies for mechanical (engineering) … There were more companies in … marketing,” said mechanical engineering senior Uma Sakshi.

Graduate student Akshar Desai said he appreciated the opportunity, but didn’t quite find what he was looking for. “It was good, but as far as my field is concerned, I just have four companies (here) … but still it was good.”

Career Counselor Andrew Tessmer offered some advice for attendees.

“Send a thank-you note to the employers that you met after the career fair,” Tessmer said. “You can also follow up with a cover letter with a resume attached for the position you are interested in … Show your Cougar pride and be as professional as possible.”
