🌟 Intern Spotlight: Brendan Plate 🌟

Brendan is a senior anthropology major with a certificate in Museums Studies. He shared a photo of him cleaning Dolly the Mastodon’s skull! This what he had to share about his time at the University of Iowa Paleontology Repository:

“This internship taught me so many preservation methods that I can take with me going forward in my career. We investigated the clay the skull was dug up with for other helpful material that could reveal information about the environment or if there was any human interaction. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be able to gain experience with a once living specimen that is around 13,600 years old!"

🔦 Employer Spotlight: Arrive Logistics 🔦

Our All Majors Career Fair wouldn't be possible without the support of our Black & Gold Sponsors! We asked Arrive a few questions to help you prepare to meet their team tomorrow:

❓What types of roles are you hiring for this fall?
Rewarding, full-cycle B2B sales roles in: Austin, Chicago, San Antonio, Tampa, Phoenix, Columbus, and St. Paul
• Business Development Representatives
• Carrier Account Representatives

❓What can students expect from your recruiting process, and how can they best prepare to be successful?
Expect a fast and fair recruiting process:
• Resume Review: an Arrive Recruiter (not AI) will review your resume
• First-round Phone Interview: your recruiter will get to know you and you'll get to know the opportunity
• Final Stages: an in-office job shadow followed by interin-person interviews with sales leaders

Students should come prepared to sell themselves and their skillsets using examples, ready to tell their story, answer, "Why Arrive?" and also bring any and all questions—any interview is a two-way street!

❓What makes your organization a great place for students and recent graduates to launch their careers?
With a decade-long history of hiring students and recent grads across our (now 8!) US offices, a sales opportunity at Arrive combines industry stability with high-growth potential alongside a team that supports you as you accelerate your career and build your future.
• As a major player in the stable, $1T logistics industry, we help power the modern-day economy. Your work has immediate, tangible results.
• We invest heavily in our people. Our structured training gives reps the building blocks to take the driver's seat after learning by doing next to a dedicated mentor.
• With our uncapped commission structure, you dictate your career trajectory and your paycheck.
• You’ll work alongside a motivated, supportive team that balances a competitive, "startup" mentality with the priority to celebrate every win.

🔦 Employer Spotlight: Lynco Products 🔦

Our All Majors Career Fair wouldn't be possible without the support of our Black & Gold Sponsors! We asked Lynco a few questions to help you prepare to meet their team on Thursday:

❓What types of roles are you hiring for this fall?
This fall, we are primarily recruiting students for internship opportunities within our Information Technology, Purchasing, Product Development, and Sales teams. Each of these roles gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience within a growing consumer products company and see how their area of study connects to the broader business. With more than 5,000 products, 30+ private-label brands, nationwide sales operations, and both domestic and international locations, there are a lot of moving pieces behind what we do and our interns get exposure to that.

❓What can students expect from your recruiting process, and how can they best prepare to be successful?
Our recruiting process typically consists of two interviews, with at least one taking place onsite. We think the onsite interview is especially important because it gives students the opportunity to see our workplace firsthand, meet members of the team, and get a better understanding of our culture and environment before making a decision.

To prepare, we encourage students to learn a little about Lynco Products and come ready to talk about their interests, experiences, and what they hope to gain from an internship. We don't expect students to already know everything. We're looking for people who are curious, motivated, willing to learn, and ready to contribute. Asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine interest in the business goes a long way.

❓What makes your organization a great place for students and recent graduates to launch their careers?
One of the things we're most proud of is that our interns are given meaningful work. We don't want someone spending a semester or summer working on miscellaneous projects that never really impact the business. Our interns work alongside our teams, contribute to real initiatives, and get an inside look at how the different parts of our organization work together. That aligns closely with Lynco's philosophy that the work our employees are doing should matter and that growth and development are important to the company's success.

We also view our internship program as a pipeline for future talent, not simply a short-term program. Nearly all of our internships have resulted in full-time offers, particularly for graduating seniors and recent graduates. Our goal is for students to leave their internship with valuable professional experience, but ideally, we want them to see a future for themselves at Lynco. There are opportunities to grow across many areas of the company, which makes Lynco a great place to start a career and continue building one.

🔦 Employer Spotlight: Northwestern Mutual Eastern Iowa 🔦

Our All Majors Career Fair wouldn't be possible without the support of our Black & Gold Sponsors! We asked Northwestern Mutual a few questions to help you prepare to meet their team on Thursday:

❓What types of roles are you hiring for this fall?
Financial Sales and Entrepreneurial Sales & Leadership Internship

❓What can students expect from your recruiting process, and how can they best prepare to be successful?
Does this internship/career opportunity align with your vision in the future? Our hope is regardless of if NM is where you fit today, you better understand your personal vision and goals.

❓What makes your organization a great place for students and recent graduates to launch their careers?
Most people want what comes with entrepreneurship, but don’t pursue it due to benefits and retirement. This opportunity allows you to achieve both, serve people in your community and the highest level of personal development.
