Are you curious as to how employers actually evaluate candidates, and what helps applicants stand out? Join this program, hosted by Brown University and the University of Rhode Island (URI), for a virtual employer panel designed to give students a behind-the-scenes look at the recruiting process from the employer perspective. This session will spotlight 4 consulting firms: Tighe & Bond<\/a> (Engineering), The Brattle Group<\/a> (Finance), Weston & Sampson<\/a> (Environmental), and Oliver Wyman<\/a> (Public Affairs), who will share behind-the-scenes insights on how students can strengthen their job search strategies and make strong impressions through professional communication and personal branding across their application materials, networking, and interviewing.
