Brand Ambassador Intern

Summary

The Brand Ambassador Intern supports Jaycon Systems' campus recruitment and employer-branding efforts by representing the company at university job fairs, career fairs, and other talent acquisition events, both on-site and virtually.

Prepare a post-event report after each university job fair, career fair, or recruitment event, documenting the event organizer and format, overall event experience, candidate engagement, and relevant outcomes along with recommendations for future participation, items to prepare in advance, lessons learned, and any areas requiring further attention.
