February 19th, 2020, Midland University had a Career Fair. It was held in Hopkins Arena and held from 11-2. I was only able to show up briefly due to classes that day and having to lift for football after. However, I got a great experience. There were many booths set up with many other businesses. The first place I stopped was Nebraska Game and Parks. I have loved outdoors since I was a kid so I figured I’d see what this business was about. I introduced myself and she asked me to tell her a bit about myself. I responded with, “I am a sophomore here at Midland University and I am double majoring in Sports Marketing and Management and General Business, with a minor in Digital Marketing. Also, I play football here and I’m looking into running any type of business in the future, that be related to sports or not.” I told every booth that same answer as well. She continued to explain who they are and what they do. Basically, they tend to wildlife here in Nebraska and hold state parks in the best long-term interest of people and those resources. I asked about their social media presence and she responded that they have a social media and are active on it. She said the marketing side of the department will handle all types of posts and getting out all the events and volunteer work posted out for the public. She went on to explain how much volunteer work they are always looking for. She said I could call office number and they would help me walk through the process. Also, I spoke with Mutual of Omaha who were looking for some potential candidate interest in working full-time for them. They had me fill out some contact information on their i-pad and spoke about the potential digital marketing hire. They said they weren’t really looking for interns as they don’t have much to hire but are definitely looking for a hire in digital marketing. I would’ve liked to ask more about the position like when the job would start or for more depth into the position role, however I didn’t have enough time. Along with that, the information I filled out would allow them to contact me via email or text with more information about the position.
