The third annual School of Informatics spring career fair was held on February 17 at the Indiana Memorial Union in Bloomington. Proving that technology firms are still hiring despite the economy, 30 employers were on-hand to meet with and interview students. The larger career fair is in the fall, but the spring event continues to draw top regional and national companies who are looking to fill a wide variety of positions. This year, almost 400 students visited the fair, with a record 185 coming through the doors in the first hour! Of the 61 recruiters that were present, 25 of them were IU alums, a testament to the impeccable reputation of IU and the growing sense of community being built in the School of Informatics.
“Technology jobs are quite diversified across industries, so even in this slowed economy, it is no surprise that we still have many employers knocking at our door to recruit students,” said Jeremy Podany, director of career services. “This career fair proved that our students are still sought after for employment.”
