Career Services Update - week of March 13, 2006!

* Mark Your Calendar – The Thomas College Career Fair is tomorrow. We have 46 businesses planning to attend. By clicking here you can see a complete listing of who will be at the fair. The Career Services bulletin board (on the first floor of the Admin building) also has a listing with information about the companies and jobs they are looking to fill.

The fair starts at 9:30am and will run until 1:30pm tomorrow (although try to be there by 1:00pm. When you come to the gym please register by signing in. Company contact information will be provided if you’d like.

I also have a survey I would like you to fill out about the fair. If you complete it and return it to the Career Services office by Friday you will be in a drawing to win a Thomas College sweatshirt.

It is important that you attend this event even if you are not graduating this year. Some employers are looking for interns and to fill part time positions too. Please make an effort to stop in.

* Job Hunting (career fair edition)– Ok, so how will it go tomorrow? What should you say? A brief introduction is a good way to break the ice. It certainly helps to spend a little time looking at the company websites before you go. That way you can say something that conveys your interest. Remember, this is an informational event – there is no harm in asking questions. It helps to have resumes handy, but you can always take a recruiter’s business card and send a personalized cover letter and resume after the fair. Please make an effort to dress appropriately – that’s another way to convey you’re serious about finding work. I’ll also have resume paper at the gym in case you run out/low (I won’t be able to help with printing them though…..)

Have a great week – and I’ll see you tomorrow!
