UC Lindner College of Business

The fall Sales Expo brought together 49 national employers and more than 300 students from across UC’s campus.

Hosted by the University of Cincinnati's Grau Center for Professional Selling, the Sales Expo is the second-largest career fair at UC and reflects the growing importance of sales careers for both students and employers.

This event continues to be a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen their networking skills, build confidence, and advance their career readiness through meaningful conversations with employers.

Employers’ comments such as “your students are polished and ask great questions” or “I’m impressed with how prepared UC students are for a career fair” and “we’ll always return to the Sales Expo” could be heard throughout the day.

Congrats to our students for showing up, putting in the work and making a name for yourself! And thank you to the employers for recruiting our students!

What if your career wasn’t meant to fit into one box?

Padma Chebrolu has spent her career connecting the dots — across technology, finance, operations, leadership and the arts.

After moving from India to Cincinnati to pursue graduate studies at UC, Padma spent three decades at Procter & Gamble while also building the Cultural Centre of India and pursuing passions for dance, theater, music and filmmaking.

On the latest Bearcats Mean Business, she shares how those seemingly different experiences have strengthened one another — and why great leadership is ultimately about bringing out the best in others.
