Campus career fairs

This semester I’ve traveled to five different career fairs. I’m finding it more and more interesting that students want to apply online and don’t have a copy of their resume on hand. ATTENTION JOB SEEKERS! BRING YOUR RESUME WITH YOU TO A JOB INTERVIEW! How else is an employer going to remember your experience?

Get out there today and find your summer internship…it’s a decision you won’t regret!

IT GatewayWe are thrilled to introduce IT Gateway – IT-oLogy’s newest job and internship portal! As we grow as an organization, we have found a need for a resume and job site where both employers and job seekers can connect with each other.
