Dorsey Graduates "Plucked The Day, When It Was Ripe" To Achieve Career Fair Success!

'Carpe diem' is usually translated from the Latin as 'seize the day'. “However, 'Carpe' translates literally as 'pluck', with particular reference to the picking of fruit, so a more accurate rendition is ‘pluck the day when it is ripe' “(Martin, 2010).

Dorsey graduates are known for enjoying job success when they follow this age-old reference and ‘pluck the day when it is ripe’. 


A great example of this success was shown this past Friday, on May 13^th  at the Dorsey Roseville Graduate Career Fair.

More than fifty graduates attended the Career Fair dressed for success in business attire, with resumes and portfolios ready.  The fair was designed in two parts, employer booths so Graduates could approach and network with the hiring employers and secondly, Graduates were pre-registered for face-to-face, one on one interviews with employers who have current positions they are looking to fill.   On average each Graduate was pre-assigned for 2-3 interviews.   Participating employers included:

·         Asset Acceptance

·         Concentra

·         Independent Opportunities

·         Kelly Services

·         LGC Associates

·         Medical Team

·         Peace of Mind Home Care, LLC

·         Visiting Angels

OVER ONE-HUNDRED Graduate interviews took place at the Career Fair!  Excitement ran high by both employers and interviewers. A true rewarding feeling was felt by the many Graduates representing each of the Dorsey programs as they networked and interviewed.  

The Career Services team of Roseville is extremely proud of all of the participating graduates from Friday’s Career Fair. Graduates attended: Ripe, Mature, Ready, Seasoned, and Developed!  We anticipate great new career opportunities on the horizon for our participating Graduates in the days to come, and will be excited to share their new job news with you!!!

So ‘Carpe Diem!’~  go pluck the day when it is ripe with opportunity, and take advantage of both Dorsey Schools Roseville Career Fairs and those upcoming job fairs held in the community. J
