Registration Information and Procedures
Friday, February 6, 2009
Kellogg Conference Hotel at Gallaudet University
Washington, D.C.
Looking for an opportunity to meet employers? Join us on
February 6. The Fair has something for all our students!
The Fair is
an event that brings together students from the top two environmental
schools and provides a forum for students to participate in informational
interviews with a variety of organizations representing government,
consulting, nonprofit conservation, and business.
Interact
and network! The informational interview setting allows
you to discuss career paths, skills necessary to work with their
organization or in a particular career field, and the availability
of internship and permanent employment positions.
About the
Recruiting Fair:
Each organization will conduct 30-minute, scheduled informational
interview sessions throughout the day. Students could have has
many as 10 interviews in one day! In the past students averaged
5-6 interviews during the Fair.
In addition
to scheduled interviews, students have three additional opportunities
to talk informally with employers during the Fair:
Information
Booths:
Some organizations prefer to meet with students in
a more traditional job fair format, where students
come by their table and talk with them informally.
BRING YOUR RESUME!
Lunch with employers: Students are invited to join the
employers for the buffet lunch. Lunch reservations must be made
prior to the event and is handled by the respective career services'
offices. Student cost is 15.00.
Employer/Student
Reception: A great way to cap off of a terrific
day! Opportunity for Duke & Yale students to get
better acquainted with one another and with employers.
Organizations are currently registering to participate in the
2009 Duke/Yale Environmental Recruiting Fair, and we will continue
to receive registrations throughout the coming weeks. To stay
informed regarding organizations participating in this year's
recruiting fair, go directly to the Duke/Yale Recruiting Fair

General
Interview Sign-up Procedures
Students must sign-up for interviews prior to the event. Interview
sign-ups for the 2009 Duke/Yale Recruiting Fair will begin TBD for Duke students and TBD for Yale
students (see example of sign-up sheet here
>). The following information provides an overview of
the student registration process as well as links to specific
registration procedures for each school. Please read carefully.
Review organizational
information on the Duke/Yale Recruiting Fair web site to determine
the organizations that you want to target for interviews. Be
sure to check the top of the sign-up sheet to see if the employer
is looking for summer interns or permanent hires!
As this recruiting fair is a joint effort between Duke and
Yale, each school has a designated number of interview slots
(2 or 3) for every 30-minute time period. Duke and Yale have
equal slots per employer.
If an interview
schedule is full, students will sign the "wait list" for
that particular employer. Students should not leave
resumes if they are on the wait list. Students on the "wait
list" will be given first consideration for any interview
slot that opens with that particular employer prior to the
event.
Drop/add:
There is a very efficient drop/add procedure the day of the
fair that allows students to monitor open slots with employers
that were full prior to the event. Many students who were not
on the first interview schedule are able to arrange an interview
time through the drop/add process.
First round sign-ups for the Duke/Yale Environmental Recruiting
Fair will begin TBD for Duke students and TBD for Yale students. Watch for email announcements
from Career Services.
We will continue
to receive registrations throughout the coming weeks. To stay
informed regarding organizations participating and their recruiting
needs in this year's fair, go directly to the Duke/Yale Environmental
Recruiting Fair website: http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/duke_Yale_fair.
Additional
Preparation for Recruiting Fair: Both schools will present
preparation workshops for all Recruiting Fair student participants
prior to the event (date and time info announced later).
Guidelines for career fair etiquette, informational interviewing
tips, drop/add advice, and how
to maximize your time with employers will be provided. Watch
for details via e-mail.
