Opportunity, information abundant at fair
You cannot expect merry
go-rounds and lerris
wheels at this (air, but what
you can expect is a whole lot of
opportunity

the Fir Room, will bo lined with
booths These booths will give
students the opportunity to talk to
companies and corporations from
all over the nation
The fair, which has been run

to non-profit organizations to
companies specializing in sa
once and technology Represen
latives will also be available from
several graduate schools and the
Northwest Law School Consor
tium, which includes Ihe lop six
law schools m the Northwest
"The most important thing lor
students to locus on when
approaching one ot the booths is
to get information," said Beth
Swank, a career counselor at the
University Career Center "What
they need to remember 19 that
this not a job fair *
The fair is an opportunity tor
students to wander around in a
relaxed atmosphere and ask
questions concerning what the
companies present are all about
"tt brings together people who
have things to show - career
opportunities" said Larry Smith,
the Career Center director Stu
dents should tee! bee to ask the
representatives questions
regarding positons available at
their particular company or about
recent hiring trends in their career
bold
The atmosphere will be
relaxed, but, as Swank empha
sized. that doesn’t mean you
need to be completely unprofes
sionai
"Someone who feefs that they
may be interested in one of the
companies that is gomg to be
present may want to bring a
resume." she said
An important thing to remem
ber is that one of the most impor
tant parts ot finding a career is
making contacts, she stressed
The career tae >s definitely a
place to make these contacts
Representatives will be looking
for people who may want to work
tor their company, so some stu
dents may be concerned about
their first impressron
“This an increasingly important
pad ol companies recruiting strut
egy." Smith said
Most ot the companies will be
on campus later in the year with
the intention of finding people to
interview with them Some com
panies will be taking resumes
and many will be handing out
cards as invitations for students
to send their resumes m.
