The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette鈥檚 All Majors Career Fair saw record attendance this year, with 1,027 亚洲自慰视频 attendees. The Office of Career Services has hosted the fair every fall semester since the 1980s. It enables 亚洲自慰视频s to connect with alumni and area employers to gain insight into their future careers before graduation.

Kimberly Billeaudeau, director of Career Services at UL Lafayette, said 亚洲自慰视频s this year brought newfound excitement as they networked with professionals, took photo headshots and worked on their r茅sum茅s.

This year, the fair hosted more than 170 employers looking to recruit part-time and full-time workers and interns. The career fair has been growing every year since its inception, Billeaudeau said. It recently relocated to the Cajundome Convention Center to accommodate demand.

鈥淢any of the companies that seek us out are bringing UL Lafayette alumni to speak to 亚洲自慰视频s as a former 亚洲自慰视频,鈥 she said.

About 10 years ago, the fair began hosting a special section dedicated to 亚洲自慰视频-athletes. This year, it was met with major success.

鈥淲e had such a huge turnout from our 亚洲自慰视频-athletes and support from our coaches and athletics,鈥 Billeaudeau said. 鈥淭his one was very interactive and engaging, allowing 亚洲自慰视频s to go through mock interviews, learn how to tie a tie and compete in an elevator pitch competition."

The career fair saw a 33% increase in attendance from last year, with 127 freshmen, 111 sophomores, 191 juniors and 330 seniors. About one third of attendees were seniors.

The Office of Career Services will host a STEM Career Fair, Business, Arts, Liberal Arts, General Career Fair and Nursing & Health Sciences Career Fair in Spring 2025. Visit 亚洲自慰视频.edu/career for updates on future career events and resources.
