UF is highly recruited, but it’s up to the students to reach out and take these opportunities. Don’t wait till you are about to graduate, before starting your career search. As a freshman, you should start researching careers, companies, and attending presentations by companies (join those clubs!).
This Case Competition (which sounds like a lot of fun), is one example of how a company is trying to recruit at UF. Accenture is sponsoring this event to get it’s recruiters access to potential candidates(they can learn a lot more about a person from working with them on a case, than simply reading a resume). For students, this is a great way to determine if consulting could be a possible career, and to network with recruiters (and possibly land an internship/job). And it’s something else to put on the resume…
