Panelists included employers from Lockheed Martin, Total Quality Logistics, City Year and the CIA.<\/p>\n<p>After the panel session, employers provided both resume critiques and practice interviews. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about how they could personally enhance their own employability when searching for jobs in the future. In addition, some employers (such as Target and TEK Systems) presented job search workshops that allowed students to learn more from the employers\u2019 perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The event took place from 12 to 4 p.m. and was open to all UCF students and alumni. Career Services staff and volunteers directed students and answered additional questions about Career Services\u2019 resources.<\/p>\n<p>Career Services is a department in the Division of Student
