TCNJ students attended the career fair and met representatives from ADP, Paycom, J&J, TEKsystems, Grainger, Mach3, Enterprise, Roche Diagnostics, and other major companies.

Dr. Al Pelham, the PSE chapter adviser, acted as a coach for other university students and a judge in the sales competition, as well as a session chair for the National Conference in Sales Management. 

The strong TCNJ results follow the strong results at the National Collegiate Sales Competition at Kennesaw State University, near Atlanta, Georgia. TCNJ, as a team, tied for 15th of 68 universities competing (58 ranks). Some of the major schools, including large sales programs, who ranked lower than TCNJ included Clemson, Kansas State, University of Toledo, Northern Illinois, William Patterson, Indiana, Ball State, University of Connecticut, and Babson. Companies recruiting at the competition included J&J Lifescan, BD Medical Devices, ADP, Paycom, Reckitt-Benkisser, Cisco, Sage, and thirty other companies. 

Jenny Green ranked 20th as an individual competitor and Zach Friedrich ranked 34th, of 133 competitors (109 ranks). This is our best performance in 6 years competing.
