"The Relevant University" for March 24 2015

Landing a job directly out of college can be a daunting task. New graduates are faced with competition across the country from experienced professionals and classmates as they go for open positions. Preparation throughout their undergraduate career has become a key to landing that pivotal first job. Internships co-ops and portfolio building are all ways students can get ahead of their competitors and network their way to a full-time position. On tonightrsquos show I will speak with four guests who are familiar with the importance of internships and experience building before graduation. My cohost for this evening is Mary-Bec Gwyn Associate Vice President for Branding and Creative Services at the University of Toledo.

Ms. Kate Lemiesz pronounced Lem-ish Recruiting Team Leader for Quicken Loans
