Genworth Financial hosted a group of students recently to showcase their company and career opportunities. Chelsea Sopko did a great job outlining the company and also introducing the students to other interns and full-time employees. They have at least 26 Pamplin alums working for them now (91 total Hokies) and have hired at least 9 Pamplin students in the past 5 years. Make certain you check out Genworth Financial at the September 16 Business Horizons job fair.

As a result, I created this chart to help students in the Pamplin College of Business better understand what they are committing to in terms of a major. Other colleges and universities would be wise to share this info with students to prevent from underemployment and to communicate realistic expectations of programs.

Selecting a Major Directs Your Career Map. Use this GPS to Locate Your Destination.

Still only 6-10% of people get jobs online. Social media is no substitute for face-to-face job searching yet it cannot be ignored. Thanks to Cox Media for this opportunity to chat about this topic.
