So we can sit here all day long and talk about how great we are, but that means nothing if we have nothing to show for. Read what employers had to say about us.
‘You did an excellent job of assisting us from start to finish (downloading resumes, registering for interview times, preselection, etc). When we arrived at the Placement Center for on-campus interviews, all of the Placement Center staff members immediately introduced themselves to us and made us feel welcome.’
-Kimberly Lind (Watkins Uiberall)
‘The programs that the Placement Center offers its student and recruiters are immeasurable. I have guest lectured numerous times through classes, and have networked through other campus organizations, all through the assistance that the Placement Center has graciously provided. The relationships I have built and the caliber of high performing students that I speak to bode well for your college.’
-Mike Pennington (Federated Insurance)
‘...my main point is that other Universities do a little with a lot, while SIU College of Business does a lot with a little. You run a great operation down there, and really maximize your resources. Keep up the good work, I’ll look forward to my next recruiting trip to Carbondale!’
-Brian Samson (Sapphire Technologies)
‘I have recruited at numerous schools in Indiana and Illinois including both state and private institutions. The coordination and hospitality from Southern Illinois University has not been matched by any other organization. Specifically, Donna Margolis (Placement Center Director) who coordinated all of our events, went above and beyond expectations and has strengthened my belief that many of the future leaders in our company will be graduates of Southern Illinois University.’
-Scott Patton (ALDI Inc.)
‘Whatever you are doing down there to prepare students for interviews, keep it up!’
-Brad Hicks (Emerson Electric)
‘The assistance and cooperation we received from them (the Business Placement Center) along with good organization, participation, and high quality participants made the event a tremendous success. Donna Margolis, in particular, provided our campus recruiting team with much assistance throughout the fall recruiting season.’
-Andrew S. Davidson (KPMG)
‘I found you and your staff to be very helpful and the physical surroundings quite comfortable.’
-Brien Leahy (MB Financial Bank)
‘The move you made to open the College of Business Placement Center was brilliant... I interviewed 18 accounting students on campus, invited 8 to Peoria, and of the 7 who interviewed in-house, 6 received job offers.’
-Brad Chambers (Caterpillar)
‘With (my) taking over the process from beginning to end this year you made it so easy and I greatly appreciate all your help!’
-Renee Robinson (CBIZ Business Solutions)
