This event brought together well-known companies such as Trustmark National Bank, Horne, GranthamPoole, Community Bank, the Mississippi Office of State Auditor, and the FBI to offer opportunities to business students. The success of Meet the Firms is rooted in the collaborative efforts of the School of Business, the Office of Career Development, and the Accounting Society.
This event is more than just a networking opportunity. It helps students transition smoothly from school to the professional world. Students present well-prepared resumes and exchange contact information with potential employers, paving the way for future career opportunities. For employers, Meet the Firms makes the hiring process easier. Face-to-face interaction helps build a personal connection, which is crucial in the hiring process. For students, the event serves as a catalyst for starting their careers. Engaging directly with top firms provides valuable insights into various industries, helping students understand what employers are looking for and opening doors to internships and job placements.
Mississippi College is grateful to the firms that participate each year. Their commitment to recruiting from the School of Business plays a significant role in the success and the career advancement of our students.
