GVSU Healthcare Connect - Winter 2023
March 20-24, 2023
Want to learn more about what it’s like to work in healthcare? Are you seeking opportunities to work for a healthcare employer while you’re in school or looking to make connections in the industry?
How it Works
The GVSU Career Center (located in 200 STU) will be hosting a healthcare employer each day from 9am-3pm throughout the week of March 20.
See employers below for the sign-up links for on-the-spot interviews. Pre-registration is recommended for an interview, but drop-ins are also welcome.
Participating Employers
Prepare
- Do your research – Figure out which organizations you are interested in and spend time doing some research on them. What information does their website or Handshake have? What types of positions do they have available? How do your skills and experiences match what they’re looking for?
- Develop questions - Narrow down your list of organizations then list some questions you would like to ask the representative at the fair.
- Prepare an introduction - Having a polished 30-second or less speech to introduce yourself to the employer will help you to initiate conversation. In your introduction, you should include your name, major/minor(s), year in school, career goals, and why you are interested in the particular organization. Listen to our podcast episode on How to Introduce Yourself which includes lots of great tips!

Follow Up
After meeting with an employer, sending a thank-you note is important in creating a good lasting impression. The note should be personalized to include details from your conversation that stuck out to you. You can also use it to highlight or re-emphasize details about your background/experiences.
