Opportunities Fair
The University of Alabama Management and Marketing Department invites you to participate in their Annual Opportunities Fair on November 2-3, 2009 at the Ferguson Center. The Opportunities Fair is an annual event when UA spotlights the sales profession through conference sessions and a Career Fair. This event creates connections between UA students pursuing a sales career, and companies that hire and develop sales talent.
The theme for this year’s Opportunities Fair is "The Secret: Hidden Opportunities in the Sales Profession”. The topics for the panel discussion will focus on the various opportunities that are available to students who possess superior sales skills.
