I’m posting the following message from Beth Runciman about what she found at Career Day. Shows you need to take advantage of the opportunities presented.

Career Day Extra Credit

At career day I spoke with many employers and handed out six resumes for potential summer internships. I signed up for an interview that took place the following day with William Chung from Hawaiian Tug & Barge / Young Brothers, LTD.

Who: Hawaiian Tug & Barge / Young Brothers, LTD
William Chung, VP, Personnel & Industrial Relations
Where from: Honolulu, Hawaii
Job opportunities: Engineers, 2nd Mates, Chief Mates, and Captains of tractor and twin
screw tugs; also Commercial Cruises and summer internships for Cadets

My goal in attending the job fair was to find summer work to gain job experience and help pay the bills. Being a freshman I didn’t know what to expect, as I know mostly the companies are looking for graduating seniors or sophomores for commercial cruise. However, I found six employers willing to provide summer work opportunities in the form of internships or entry level deckhands. Career Day can be beneficial, even for freshman!
