USF Industry Conversation with Employers: FinTech & Financial Services
One hour, a handful of fintech employers, and nobody else in line. That's the whole pitch.
4101 USF Apple Dr, Tampa, FL 33620
What this event is
USF Career Services hosts an hour-long Industry Conversation with fintech and financial services employers on October 22 from 5 to 6 PM in the Tampa library. Employers discuss their industry and hiring paths with students in a small-room format. Registration is through USF Handshake.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
USF students and grads targeting engineering roles at banks, payments and fintech companies in Tampa Bay.
Small panels beat fairs for actually getting remembered. Tampa is a real financial-services hub, and those employers file for sponsorship far more often than the local defense firms. Show up with one sharp question about their tech stack and stay after to introduce yourself. Then apply on their site that night and mention the panel in your note.
Show up prepared
- 1Register on Handshake and read the panelists' company career pages
- 2Write one specific technical question per company
- 3Stay after the panel and get a name to follow up with
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
