PepsiCo Flipping the Fair Career Event

The PepsiCo Campus Talent Acquisition team is excited to announce the launch of our Flipping the Fair: The Career Fair, Reinvented podcast series! With career fairs being one of the many events canceled following the Coronavirus outbreak, we set out to develop a unique alternative that would still enable students to learn what a career at PepsiCo is all about. The episodes offer students a glimpse of the PepsiCo culture, information about careers within a variety of functions, and insights from PEP employees who were in their shoes not too long ago. We also sat down with our PepsiCo Foods North America Sr. Vice President of Supply Chain to discuss hot topics such as sustainability, purpose, and what sets PepsiCo apart from other organizations.

Use these to the series on Spotify & Apple. We also created a Flipping the Fair Landing Page for students who have enjoyed the series and want to stay connected with us.

Sammie Walker Herrera is the new embedded liaison from the Career Connections Center (C3), replacing Corey Graf who left the CCC and CALS for a new role in November. She started at UF in March and has diligently been making her way through trainings since that time. Now, she’s ready to meet with students and wants to get to know our faculty and staff.
