Program Overview
+ Tech Square Job Fair promises a different experience
from traditional career fairs for attendees & companies

Program Flow 1+ Pre-registered and walk-in attendees were welcomed at
the registration station, where they received their passport and name tags
+ Attendees were guided upstairs to complete their passport, including getting their polaroid picture taken and identifying which companies they wanted to talk to
+ Hourly sponsored snack bars provided both companies and attendees with another location to migrate for conversations

Program Flow 2+ After attendees had made their rounds, they recorded
which companies they had conversed with on their passports, and then turned these in for a chance to win Shaky Beats Festival tickets
+ Passport data was input into the attendee database, which was later shared with companies to obtain the resumés and contact information of attendees
+ The passport polaroids were used to create a visual representation of the quantity and diversity of Tech Square Job Fair attendees, shown on a later slide

“People are everything. Going to work is fun when the people around you are smart, engaging, fun, goofy,
and kind. They will challenge you to grow and learn.”
“Community. In order for a company to make me want to do meaningful work for them I need a meaningful connection to them and the work they do. Even the
most menial task can be made rewarding surrounded by people who mean something to me.”
“Freedom. Working in an organization where free thinking and creativity are encouraged.”
“The company must make impact a core priority to contribute to the rising tide of sustainable business practices.”
“I hope to work for a company that is constantly seeking to innovate, figuring out new ways to accomplish things, figuring out what people may seek from the service provided and how
it can be best provided in novel ways.”
