WCU CAREER FAIR
Thursday, October 27, 2011 1:00-4:00 pm
University Center Grand Room, WCU campus
This year four separate, smaller fairs have been combined into one larger fair with approximately 62 employers and 9 graduate/professional schools registered for the fair. Please check the link below to see the growing number of registrants:
Attending the fair is a great way to network with employers and graduate schools; get a business card, ask questions, gather information about internships /co-ops and full time jobs and in some cases, make an application! For 1st and 2nd year students who may never have attended an event of this nature, this is a way to learn how to network and become comfortable in asking questions that may, perhaps, guide them towards a career choice. If possible, juniors, seniors and graduate students should come professionally dressed with resumes.All alumni are welcome to attend this event as well.
After the career fair, US Cellular is hosting an information session for students and alumni, 4:30 in the UC Catamount Room, refreshments will be served.
