3 Interesting Jobs at the Career Cantina

Written by Claire Freier

Simpson Strong. #wearegreek. Metta’s Girls. From making giant banners to practicing for Mock Rock, Homecoming Week is chock-full of activities and events. As alumni stream in from across the country to celebrate our 100th Homecoming, Hillsdale students compete to win the coveted trophy on Saturday night.

Among all the friendly competition is an opportunity to meet alumni of years past and network, too. That’s why Career Services has created our Career Cantina event – to make it easy for students to connect with Hillsdale grads and get first-hand information about careers. At the Career Cantina this Friday, not only will you get free food but you’ll also be able to meet and chat with alumni in many different fields, from medical to marketing. This year we have almost 30 cool jobs that will be represented at the Cantina – take a look at a few interesting careers our grads have and will be available to talk about:

  1. Plastic Surgeon 
    No, this isn’t an episode of Botched, but plastic surgery is still super fascinating! Come to Table 2 for more information about what exactly a plastic surgeon does in a day.
  2. Finance/Trade in the Chicago Stock Exchange
    Who says finance isn’t fun? Learn about what working on the Stock Exchange is really like at Table 7.
  3. Politician – Washington State Representative 
    Everyone knows how much Hillsdale students love to talk politics, so why not talk to an actual politician? Head to Table 10 to debate whether or not politics is the job for you.

The Career Cantina is this Friday, September 23rd from 12 – 1pm in the Student Union. Business casual attire is requested, and please bring a current resume!
