Resume writing workshop, Career Fair set for March

Students thinking about job hunting need to circle two dates on their calendars: March 10 and March 19.

March 10 is the date of the Resume Writing Workshop, conducted by Carolyn Carson, director of Placement. This workshop will provide tips for job seeking, interviewing and creating a sharp-looking resume. The session is scheduled in the Goins Cafeteria Annex 12-1 p.m.

Then, on March 19 is the Career Fair, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. in the halls of the McWherter Building. The event brings together students and prospective recruiters. Participants will receive a copy of the “Job Hunting Handbook” and a button to wear that lets employers know the students have come prepared.

As many as 40 to 50 private and public employers are expected. The event should benefit students seeking full-time employment, summer internships and part-time jobs.

Students are encouraged to bring several copies of their resume to the Career Fair. The activity is sponsored by the Placement Office and is being promoted by the Event Marketing class.

Come early for punch and cookies and a chance to win door prizes. For more information, contact Carolyn Carson at 694-6554 or Lisa Bogaty at 694-6482.
