Preparing for the Opportunity Fair
To assist those attending to prepare for the Opportunities Fair, we provide a guidebook so that attendees can do their homework and learn more about the organizations that are participating PRIOR to coming to the fair! The 2019 Guidebook will be available March 4.
This means you should
- Review all of the companies listed in the packet
- Go to organizations websites to learn more about the positions available
- Apply to those positions online (if possible).
SPEED-WORKSHOPS
In addition to the employers, there are also mini-workshops on how to create and improve resumes, tips to finding jobs online, and making sure that the attendee’s social media captures the right kind of attention.
You don’t want to miss it!
