What Students Are Saying
USM's Career Fair had several employers that were able to provide more information regarding the programming languages they use, what their positions entail, and who to contact to get more information about the positions available. Attending this event gave me direction, as I became familiar with local and national companies that are actively looking to hire. Now I know where to look for future opportunities!
