“This is a great way for the students of VIU and the local community to get their feet wet and practice the essential skills of interviewing, because a lot of these companies are ready to hire within a short frame of time and are looking for the right candidates. You can gain so much just from attending,” said Dr. Isa Sarac, president of Virginia International University.
