I had the opportunity to talk with quite a few employers because I was curious about the types of candidates they are looking for as well as their thoughts about the so called “recession”. What I found was great news if you are a college graduate or Alumni entering the workforce!
Here are some of the jobs that were available:
1) Accounting Positions
2) Engineering Positions
3) Marketing Positions
4) Law Enforcement
5) Hospitality
6) Technology Positions
7) Teaching/Education Positions
8) Sales Positions
I was very impressed with the amount of positions and the quality of the jobs at this event. One company in particular caught my interest and had some unique jobs and interesting product. IZEA, who is located in downtown Orlando, has a product called Pay Per Post. I spoke with IZEA's controllor David Bates and he was excited about this company. According to David, the company started in 2007 started with only 7 employees. Today, it has over 50 and growing with a blogging/advertising product that is quickly becoming a new way on the internet to market products using blogs.
IZEA has many opportunities. I like how one of their departments is called “customer love”. They also have a great employment brand (employers please take note on how to describe your employment brand in words):
“Each month we celebrate birthdays with ceremonial cakeplows. We ring new initiates in with tequila shots. We play football together and hang out on the weekends. If you enjoy the corporate world, if you are easily offended or think it is wrong to wear flip flops to work, this probably isn't the right place for you.”
That is what is great about career fairs. You sometimes can find out about future great companies before they become the next Google!
