2. I would like to pursue the opportunity that at the Heavener School of Business, as companies come in for Heavener Career Week, they are simply provided slotted times, and some students miss out on chances to hear from or speak with those recruiters if they do not show up in time for that particular session on that particular day.
3. Testing the 3 Elements
a. While the ‘who’ revolves around the students within the HSB, Heavener would actually be the one who would receive the service for the opportunity since they are the facilitator of this event.
b. Would there be particular funding/room within the HCW schedule for this opportunity to be accommodated?
c. This would allow for more transparency of information and access to it for students who would otherwise be unable to attend.
4. Interviewing 5 People
a. While talking with one of my friends who works at the front desk and understands the scheduling that is involved with these kinds of events, he questions the ratio of students who attend or even attend multiple company events versus those who will not show up at all and the age breakdown of these students. Is this a good indicator of committed attendance within the Heavener demographic.
b. Working with my marketing director within one of my organizations to gain some more insight, he was open to the idea, while also questioning the platform to which this opportunity would be placed on and the continued maintenance and updating of that platform.
c. I worked with my roommate, who transferred into Heavener recently. To her, there is a more personable connection that comes from listening and working with recruiters in person. Even if she was to miss the session, that lack of information acts as a motivator to reach out and make those face-to-face connections that can be somewhat lacking in the workplace as the world revolves more and more around technology.
d. I interviewed one of the freshman students I mentor about the possible adjustment to HCW. To her, the need for internships and working to network with companies is secondary to getting involved within the college. In her eyes, she is not even sure what companies would align with her interests and goals in life, indicating the need for more research before going to listen to these companies, let alone listen to them.
e. Another person that I asked was a heavily involved colleague who’s looking for an internship this past Career Week. She saw it as an opportunity to take advantage of, especially as she has certain classes that are mandatory attendance, so she was unable to attend key events that she was hoping to learn more about with the specific companies.
