Tau Beta Pi Résumé DVD for Convention Recruiting Fair

In response to corporate interest, Headquarters will compile a DVD containing résumés from student members who will be seeking employment after graduation. A copy of this DVD will be given to each company recruiting at the Convention’s recruiting fair to be held on Thursday, October 15, at the Hilton East Brunswick in East Brunswick, New Jersey. (List of participating companies and schools)

At previous Convention recruiting fairs, each Chapter president/voting delegate was asked to collect their chapter résumés on a disc, make copies for each recruiting company, and hand the disc to each recruiter. The number of companies participating has grown, making it more difficult for chapters to provide copies for all companies. Also, the recruiters have had to pack up boxes of discs to ship back, so having only one DVD would be preferable.

Please participate in this worthwhile project that will contribute to the growing popularity of this fair among corporate recruiters across the nation. This project also offers those students not attending the Convention a chance to place their résumé in the hands of companies who very much want to hire Tau Bates.

Please follow these simple instructions:

1. Collect MS Word (DOC, not DOCX) document or PDF résumés of interested chapter members. Do not include résumés of those going on to graduate school.
2. Name each individual file with the person's name (John Smith.doc, John Smith.pdf). Files with names such as "resume", "myresume" or "engineering resume" do nothing to uniquely identify the résumé. There is no need to put "resume" in the file name as that is implied as the DVD is nothing but résumés.
3. Sort résumés by curriculum and place each résumé in a separate folder for each curriculum. Name each folder using the curriculum table below.
4. Place the curriculum folders in a master folder. The name of this folder will be your school’s name, not the name of your chapter.
5. E-mail the folder to Pat McDaniel at pat@tbp.org (You'll probably have to zip the folder).
6. Deadline to receive résumé folder is September 15, 2009.
7. Folders not in the proper format will be returned for correction.
8. Thank you for participating!

You may also take your own résumé to the fair and hand it to recruiters. Please contact Pat McDaniel if you have any questions.
