Most employers will want to meet you and talk about how good a fit their company and position might be for you. They will likely show you how to apply and may even schedule an interview for later.
Even if you're busy or in class, you can still connect with the employers who are coming on campus. Log in to your Handshake account with your Central Piedmont username and password and to learn more about each company and engage with employers.
