DECaF 2007 Company Recruiter Quotes:


"I was very impressed with how the job fair was set up and how it ran. I've been to quite a few job fairs and this one seemed much better than most of the professional ones that I attend. I think the students did a wonderful job with logistics. It's always great to be able to have materials shipped directly to and from the event. The food was great and there was so much variety. All of the volunteers were very helpful and answered any questions I had. It really was a great event."
-Susanne Dunwell (Booz Allen Hamilton, Recruiter)


"The organization of the entire event was impeccable. I wouldn't change a thing!"
-Lizelle Baylon (Boston Scientific Corporation, Sr. Recruiter)


"Excellent planning and plan execution; volunteers were very helpful. I am very happy with the first-rate treatment."
-Paul Fung (IBM Software Group, Senior Programming Manager)


"I really appreciated the student volunteers. From the time I pulled up in the parking lot to when I left in the afternoon, the students were attentive and helpful. I really felt like they cared about making the event a success.
[UCSD Students:] I was pleased with the number of students attending the fair, the quality of their resumes, and the way they presented themselves.
[Impressed:] I thought the overall coordination and event logistics were handled very well. It really seemed that if I had a question or an issue that I needed help on there were people ready to assist."
-Sarah Blaine (Cisco Systems, Business Development Manager)


"My compliments to Jeff and the student team - they provided outstanding help and support during set up. They're delightful to work with."
-Rich Goldberg (Cisco Systems, VP Corporate Quality)


"I was really impressed with the level of organization and professionalism. Your job fair was better than that of some professionally managed fairs. I could tell your group spent a ton of time with logistics and planning and it showed by how smoothly everything ran; from the very beginning with parking all the way through the end of the event. You made the experience very enjoyable and allowed us employers to concentrate on talking with the students."
-Peter Kim (Conexant Systems Inc, Recruiter)


"This was actually my first career fair, but I was impressed by how helpful the volunteers were and how easy parking & transportation were."
-Jadon Smith (Space Exploration Technologies, Propulsion Analyst)


"I was extremely impressed on how helpful the student volunteers were. They all had such great attitudes and offered to assist in any way possible to make the experience run as smoothly as possible. Of the majority of job fairs I have attended the food at this one seemed to be one of the best. Whoever created the resume cd did a wonderful job of making it easy to navigate and organized."
-Laura Spencer (SeekTech, HR Representative)


"The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Their customer service was far beyond that of any other job fair staff I have ever encountered."
-Lisa Tran (Websense, Inc., Recruiter)


"This career fair has been the best by far! Your team of volunteers were thoughtful and friendly. We were very impressed and happy with the fair.
[UCSD Students:] Every student we spoke to had very good communication skills. They were great to interact with and really impressed us.
[Impressed:] DECaF was the best organized event I've ever attended. You guys have thought of everything!"
-Pamela Hoyem (Silver & Associates Inc, Human Resources Manager)


"The most impressive thing about DECaF is that it was very well organized, coordinated and run. Execution of duties by the staff and the location was great. I was asked on a number of occasions if I needed help in setting up my booth or if I needed anything. Customer service was excellent! For being inside, the booth accommodations were superb!"
-Gary Osumi (QUALCOMM, Sr. Staff Staffing Specialist)


"The student volunteers were also beyond exceptional. It's amazing how you can make going to a job fair feel like checking in to a 5-star hotel."
-Nikolai Devereaux (ViaSat, Software Engineer)


"This event was very well organized by the DECaF student volunteers. This was by far the best career fair I have attended at any school. The level of student assistance and help for this event was beyond excellent.
[UCSD Students:] At the moment I'm very impressed with the UCSD students. UCSD has become my university of first choice for finding good candidates for aerospace and mechanical engineers."
-Roger Stensland (NAVAIR, Subsystems Engineering Division Hd.)


"It was very well organized! Good job! I've been to DECaF myself as a student here before and I never knew how much work there was to put it all together. It was very nice and a lot of fun too! Great job! Keep it up!"
-Jocelyn Lo (Motorola, Mechanical Engineer, Senior)


"I was most impressed by the student volunteers; I have done numerous career fairs and trade shows and have never had such a great support staff offered by the sponsor. From the moment we parked up until the end of the day, there was always some one near by ready and eager to help. It made it very enjoyable to participate."
-Rosa Salazar (Rockwell Collins, Executive Administrative Assistant)


"DECaF had the most students who had open minds compared to Caltech, UCLA, and USC. We're not as well known as some other engineering companies but the students still approached us with interest."

-Natalie Gerken (Booz Allen Hamilton, Recruiter)


"The volunteers were excellent in being helpful and acting in a professional manner. The overall event was an excellent way to meet a lot of students in a short period of time.
[UCSD Students:] The resumes were outstanding. We will easily fill our intern positions."
-James Burke (Breg, Inc, Director of Engineering)

-Patrick Skaggs (Solar Turbines, Engineer)


"It was an overall very fun event."
-Hollen Mak (Raytheon Company, Systems Engineer)
