Baylor is celebrating National Engineering Week with a series of events highlighting innovation, hands-on learning and the impact of engineering on society. From interactive demonstrations to guest speakers and student competitions, the weeklong festivities aim to inspire the next generation of engineers while showcasing Baylor’s commitment to STEM education.
It’s like in high school, when people would say student government, prom king or queen and homecoming court are all popularity contests. The well-known people always win. It was networking before we even knew what it was.
With all the promotion Baylor does for the event, the preparation of updating and perfecting resumes and the careful selection of a professional outfit the night before, I would hope the event would be worth my time. But each year my hopes are dashed by the lack of options for journalism majors.
The Baylor Career Center hosted over 115 employers for Career Day Tuesday in the Mark and Paula Hurd Welcome Center. The Lariat spoke to two of these companies to get their advice for students looking to give themselves the best shot at a selective job or internship.
With more than 120 different employers in attendance, All-University Career Day is expanding to two different buildings this semester.

Around 2,500 students showed up for this semester’s Career Day, according to Rylander. Recruiters were there to get to know students and explain their company further.
Amy Rylander, director of the Career Center, and Jonathan Echols, communications and media manager of the Career Center, together offered advice for students on what to prepare for Spring Career Day.
