“I attended the Global Career Forum in the fall semester of 2021 as a senior. I was offered a part-time position at American Credit Acceptance for the spring semester of 2022. I worked part-time until I graduated, and was then hired as a database engineer. The Global Career Forum is a great opportunity for all students since this gives you a chance to build your network and look into the different careers offered around the Upstate area!”
