Professionalism is crucial at the McCombs Diversity Council dinners and in your overall career search. The McCombs Diversity Council dinners are a formal event, but the atmosphere is relaxed and your goal should be to create relationships with recruiters. This is very different from the Career Expo or other recruiting events. Your focus at the dinner should be on gathering information, developing a connection with the recruiter, and above all obtaining the recruiter’s contact information for future follow-up. You may bring your resume to the dinner, but please do not hand out your resume unless the recruiter specifically asks for it. More tips on networking, etiquette, and professionalism are included in the PowerPoint presentation below. Please review the presentation and feel free to contact BBA Career Services if you need additional clarification.
Please note that the deadline to cancel your RSVP for the dinner is one week prior to the event. If you do not cancel before this deadline and/or fail to show up for the event, you will be blocked and lose your OCR recruiting privileges. If an emergency situation occurs, please contact the event coordinators immediately to cancel your RSVP. Thank you.
Furthermore, McCombs Diversity Council strives to host events, which are compliant with the state and university risk management policies. For more information about the risk management, please view the Risk Management presentation.
