Tips to help
Create a Search Agent - go to the 'Job Search' tab and use the advanced search option, then follow the directions at the top of the page to create the agent. This feature can be setup to run your saved search and email you the results on a regular basis so you do not have to remember to check in.
Login regularly - we post news of employer visits and other hiring events in the local area that might be of interest to you. You may also want to conduct a job search even if you have a Search Agent. Employers sometimes list jobs in categories you may not have thought of and didn't come up in your agent search.
Have multiple resumes - if you are looking for work in multiple industries, you should have a resume tailored to each area. One generic resume is not effective. Contact our office if you need assistance.

Post Career Fair Notes
The Career Fair was a big success yesterday! We ended up with 121 employers in attendance. I hope everyone found the event to be helpful in their career planning. The employers were very satisfied and the attendees I spoke with seemed to be very hopeful in the conversations they had with employers.
Overall, I felt the attendees were more prepared than in past years. There seemed to be a lot of resumes in hands and dress was more appropriate (for the most part). Always keep in mind that when you meet with an employer, you are making a first impression - good OR bad. A good impression will make them want to follow up with you later.
We are working on future events, so be sure to follow the blog for updates!

Career Fair Update
The annual Career Fair is only one week away and we are busy finalizing the employer list. As always, there will be some last minute changes. Some employers not currently listed will be added and a couple scheduled to attend will drop out. We will try to keep the on-line listing updated as much as possible.
We have a maximum of 121 tables in the College Center and all are spoken for! We additionally have a few employers on a waiting list that we will try to accomodate. There will definitely be a full house.
Please be sure to read the previous post from March 5th that discusses how to prepare for the Career Fair. First impressions are lasting and can make the difference in an employer wanting to pursue hiring you or passing.
The Career Fair is primarily for our students and alumni, but it is also open to the public if you have friends/family who may be looking for work.
