PFP Fall Career Day 2023
FAQs for Professionals
Who will be attending Fall Career Day?
The primary attendees for Fall Career Day will include December 2023 graduates and
students seeking an internship for Summer 2024. While those populations will be the
main attendees, this event will be open for all Personal Financial Planning students
regardless of classification or program level should they want to attend.
How do I advertise my job openings?
Open positions will be posted through University Career Center on HireRedRaiders.
Can I interview students at Fall Career Day?
Absolutely! Our event will be hosted at Overton Hotel & Conference Center. Although
we do not use University Career Center interview rooms for Fall Career Day, Overton
has plenty of seating areas to break away from the crowd and conduct a student interview.
What benefit do I receive as a company for attending Fall Career Day?
By attending Fall Career Day, you are getting exposure to some of the top personal
financial planning students in the country. You will be able to conduct on-the-spot
interviews and give an informational presentation to interested students. In addition
to visiting with students, some of our faculty will be in attendance if you would
like to visit with them. A welcome breakfast with current students and faculty is
also included.
How much is it to attend Fall Career Day?
The cost is $750 for in-person attendance or $250 for virtual interviewing. Please
visit our Company Pricing & Benefits website for more information on the registration levels. If your company was a Platinum
sponsor for Opportunity Days 2023, this registration fee for Fall Career Day is waived.
What can I expect during the Exhibit Hall?
Each company will be provided a table and two chairs. You are welcome to bring any
promotional materials, banners, signage, etc. that you want to put on your table.
Outlets for electricity will be minimal, please do not count on having an outlet for
displays at your table.
Students will be able to stop by and visit with you at your table. Students will have their resumes with them and be ready to give them to you. If you speak with a student that you would like to get to know a little bit better, you are welcome to do on-the-spot interviews at any time. Please do not feel like you have to conduct on-the-spot interviews. You are welcome to take resumes and set up separate follow-up interviews with students.
If I am unable to participate in Fall Career Day, can I do a classroom presentation
or set up a separate interview day for PFP students?
Classroom presentations are only allowed during Opportunity Days for our Event & Platinum level sponsors.
You are more than welcome to set up a separate interview day through the University Career Center, and we are happy to advertise your visit but we will be unable to facilitate any details for you.
Are there other events focused on interviewing students?
We host an event in the Spring called Opportunity Days. This event is hosted by the School of Financial Planning. Employers can conduct
interviews with students and connect with them at various events. This three day event
is designed to provide company representatives with a first-hand opportunity to know
our students.
With your support, you will receive exclusive benefits for interviewing, the Awards Banquet, company recognition, and be introduced to some of the finest financial planning students in the country.
