Companies are thinking outside the box when it comes to recruiting prospective interns and employees. It\u2019s no longer about a booth and one or two local representatives. FIU\u2019s fall career fair showcased some of those new trends.<\/p>\n

Held October 2 at the FIU Arena, this year\u2019s second career fair drew 150 employers and 1,700 students across a broad spectrum of majors, including the College of Business.<\/p>\n

The lineup included private industry; public, educational, and non-profit organizations; local government, federal government, law enforcement, and military. Among the participants, JP Morgan Chase Bank, State Farm, Johnson & Johnson, U.S. Department of State, FBI, Burger King, and Hilton Miami Downtown.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese firms are coming to FIU because they can find diversity talent,\u201d said John Nykolaiszyn, associate director of employer development at the COB\u2019s Career Management Services. \u201cWe\u2019re producing some of the top talent in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Executives are becoming more strategic about on-campus recruiting.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the first time since its 2009 debut at the career fair, JP Morgan Chase brought representatives from its commercial, consumer, corporate, and investment divisions. They showcased 20 different programs available for internships and employment, including analyst, finance and leadership positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows that big brands are willing to take a chance in order to get the right talent,\u201d said Nykolaiszyn. \u201cWhat we did with J.P. Morgan Chase was to build on the lessons learned and success we had when State Farm raised the college recruiting bar three years ago by bringing in top executives from their corporate headquarters to actively recruit our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

A long-time FIU partner, State Farm has gradually increased its footprint at the university\u2019s career fairs. Three years ago the insurer launched a cohesive effort showcasing multiple business lines and also implemented a more hands-on recruiting approach.<\/p>\n

Don Dye, human resources representative at State Farm, pointed out that company is being more strategic in its efforts to \u201cattract that next generation of talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
