On Wednesday afternoon, the College of Commerce & Business Administration hosted Connect 2016. The event was a Sales and Marketing Career Fair that is hosted biannually by the UA Sales Program.

Students in business casual dress flocked to the ballroom of the Ferguson Student Center for a chance to network with over 45 companies. Jordan Tucker, a graduate student and Digital Outreach Manager for the University’s Sales Program, spoke briefly on the purpose and helpfulness of the career fair for students. 

“It’s a great opportunity for students to meet companies from all across the country,” Tucker said. “They’ve got jobs in marketing, sales and management so a lot of different types of industries are represented so it’s a really great opportunity for them to network.”

The event allowed students to hand out copies of their resumes to potential employers. For some, this was their first career fair. 

Tucker spoke briefly about those individuals, “If this is their first career fair, it’s business casual, so really a more casual environment than a typical career fair so really a great first career fair to come to.”
