HireU Launches First College Career Fair in Atlanta; Creates Success for Students, Graduates, Employers

(PRWeb) February 7, 2007 -- Stemming from the event management expertise of its team of recruiting professionals, HireU launched today as a complete resource for college students and graduates, as well as employers and others looking for college student and graduate outreach.



The college career fair company’s first event is set to rollout in Atlanta on March 20th to provide employment opportunities and resources for the southeast region’s thousands of college student and graduates. Equally, the event aims to connect employers in Atlanta, the state of Georgia and the southeast US as a whole with graduates of all levels and types of degrees from universities throughout the region.

“Unlike the local college career fairs held at various universities – which typically allow only students enrolled at that college to attend – HireU College Career Fairs will allow any college students and recent graduates (within 2 years) to attend the event, regardless of the college they went to,” said HireU Founder and President Hal Fischer. “What we’ve seen is that many students could be home from another college outside of the area, or that they’ve already graduated, and hence they cannot attend the local college career fair at a specific university. For those students, HireU is their solution.

“On the employer side, this type of environment allows Fortune 500 employers and cutting edge small and regional businesses to access candidates that they would have missed out on at the local college career fair. The advantage is that our events gather a consortium of local college students and recent graduates in the area for one day at one location,” stated Fischer.

Partnering with HireU for its first event will be CollegeRecruiter.com, the premier information source for college students and current and recent graduates who are seeking employment; its website is currently the highest traffic career site used by job-hunting students and recent graduates with zero to three years of experience.

“With the experience in putting on events and career fairs that the staff of HireU possesses, we knew that this would be a successful partnership for our business,” said CollegeRecruiter.com President Steven Rothberg. “We’re excited at the prospects of this partnership, and will be looking toward the upcoming Atlanta event to assess how HireU and CollegeRecruiter.com will move forward to create job-hunting success for college students and graduates.”

Taking place from noon – 5pm at the Hilton Atlanta, the college career fair will certainly create job-hunting and talent acquisition success for the hundreds of college job seekers and approximately 30 employers attending.

Fischer utilized his over 10 years of experience in specialized event management, as well as the combined 30 years of recruiting and human resources experience of his staff, to make HireU a reality.

“At HireU, we’re optimistic and enthusiastic about the possibilities of putting on college career fairs,” said Fischer, adding, “Companies for years have included collegiate recruiting in their talent acquisition and sourcing programs. Students for years have found the task of the post-college job hunt to be daunting and problematic. Our whole goal in launching these college career fairs is to simplify the sourcing and hiring process for both companies and collegiate job seekers while doing so in a business casual setting, which gives both parties the advantage of an informal setting and a face-to-face meeting.

“College job seekers spend quite a bit of time submitting their resume to online databases with little or no results. Recruiters spend countless hours scouring over resumes. At HireU, we’d rather put the candidate directly in front of the employer and give the actual person – not their resume – the chance to shine,” said Fischer.

College Students Correcting Internet For Cash? Yes!
The old assumption that college students don?t have money has existed for many years. Everyone that has been a college student, or knows a college student has some idea of college life being a balancing act between seeking knowledge and surviving on as little money as possible. While studying their chosen profession, many students live a life that is, for lack of better terms, impoverished. These students live a perpetual cycle of cramming, scrounging, and using items for multiple functions and situation. They essentially recycle everything that can potentially be used for something else and do without many things that they want and sometimes do without things they need. There is a sub culture of sharing, borrowing and bartering that makes...

Good Parenting Advice - Are You Giving Your Child The Edge At School?
Today the pressure to succeed at school begins even earlier than ever. Children in kindergarten and first grade are held to a standard of success that their parents never had to worry about. While in the past those first few years of schooling were pressure free and simply intended to introduce children to formal education, today children are tested on their knowledge and ability within the first weeks of kindergarten and that testing continues throughout the rest of their public school education. This places an enormous pressure on young children and yet many parents are not doing everything they can to give their child the edge and help them succeed at school. Giving your child the edge does not mean hiring a tutor, buying an expensive ed...
