FSU Employer Testimonials

 

DCI-Logo-Original-Converted-360x322We find really good candidates [at FITC] and pretty much all of them have decided to stay on full time afterwards, so it’s been very valuable.


          Lester Hutt, Diverse Computing Inc.

 

feature23We’ve met some really awesome potential candidates for our company at the FITC Career Fair. I think we have two that may be coming over in spring or summer. We’ve met a few here today that have been really great.


Raymond McDermont, feature[23]

 

tmhWe get a lot of new hires because they first come through as an intern, that’s their first step in the door. You come in as an intern, you pretty much get the experience that you need even if it’s by just shadowing with somebody. Then you can go from being an intern into being an employee, so we benefit a lot.

suneraWe almost always have FSU grads, especially from this college, working at Sunera. So today we brought a consultant who actually graduated from the program and we met at this career fair previously, so we’ve always hired students interns and full time employment.

Monica Cook, Sunera

 

teksystemsWe get a lot of resumes. [FITC] helps us look at the talent pool that’s currently in Tallahassee that will be looking for IT jobs or web design jobs. It gives us a good avenue to filling those roles for companies that might have entry level needs.

          Justin Hirsche, TEKSystems

 

sachs[FITC] has been great, and we have definitely gotten interns from the CCI internship fairs.  It’s great to network and talk to the students and get a pulse on what they’re interested in, so it’s been a great experience.

Courtney Nomina, Sachs Media Group

 

TRESTAWe’re really here [at the FITC/CCI Career Fair] trying to make sure that students know who we are,  and know that there’s a possibility that you can work in development and IT. I think a lot of students aren’t really aware of that especially when they’re younger.

          Raja Benton, Tresta

 

datamaxxFor the FITC career fair, most of the students do a very good job and present themselves well. They come prepared with resumes which we like to have to see what their background is. They also seem to communicate very well. We have a lot of good students coming out of Florida State.

Larry Allen, Datamaxx

 

city of tallahasseeThanks so much to you and your respective teams again for a great pilot launch of the CS First Program. The students seemed very pleased with their experience, and I could tell the staff at both Cobb and Nims were also appreciative of the work. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with you all, and look forward to what the future might hold for the program.

          Dustin Daniels, Office of the Mayor, Tallahassee

 

RB-Oppenheim-AssociatesWe’ve had some interns come through and we’ve hired them from this career fair. It’s also good just to get those resumes so that we have them on file. We may not be looking for an employee or intern now, but we have them on file and we know they’re good quality students because they come from the College of Communication & Information. We’ve found some really good quality students from these career fairs.

Brianna Barnebee, RB Oppenheim Associates
