What to Expect from An Employer Information Session

Many companies hold information sessions on campus during the recruiting season in order to explain the job opportunities they have available and offer more information about the company and its organizational culture. Most info sessions range from one to two hours long and consist of a company presentation where current employees explain the values and mission of the company followed by an opportunity for students to talk to company representatives about the company and ask any pertinent questions. Employer reps are often recent grads able to describe what you might expect during your first couple of years should you join the organization.

How to Prepare

Preparation should include:

  • Doing a little background research on what the company does, specializes in, and job opportunities they have, etc.
  • Being aware of competitors in the industry and how this company views itself in comparison to them.
  • Learn about the industry so you understand exactly what the company does.
  • If you have a geographic preference, knowing about the city you want and why you want it (sometimes differences between firms in particular locations focus on specific industries and sectors).
