An information session is a formal presentation companies host to share about their company culture, company information and company career paths. This is a great opportunity to network and to research more information about companies recruiting at UNT. All UNT students and alumni are encouraged to attend these information sessions. Students who will be interviewing with these companies are highly encouraged to attend.
You may sign up for the information sessions through the Career Center's Eagle Network system.
The Career Center recommends that job seekers always send thank-you letters immediately following an interview or an office visit. Many job seekers send thank you letters after meeting an employer at a career fair or an information session as a part of their job search strategy.
The thank you letter is similar to a cover letter, but is less formal. Thank you letters should be brief. Elaborate on those things that were discussed during the interview that are significant to your ability to do the job well. You may add any relevant information that you forgot to address during the interview. Be sure to show sincere gratitude for the interview and interest in the organization and position for which you interviewed.
Each person that interviewed you should receive a thank you letter. It is appropriate to send an email in lieu of a letter. In fact, the email letter will get to the intended recipient(s) much faster than regular mail. Be sure that the language you use in the email is not too informal. You may mail the letter in addition to sending it via email.

Careers in the 21st Century—What and Where Will They Be?
The internet offers a massive amount of resources for finding jobs, so much that job seekers can end up "drowning" in the internet instead of "surfing" it. This area has been developed to allow job seekers to search in "address specific" websites, rather than mega and meta lists that provide only a limited number of job listings in a particular field.
