The SU Fall Job Fair is almost here...

The SU Fall Job Fair is almost here and many employers (over 60) have registered.  Before the fair arrives I would like to address some comments that have been made in the past.  We have heard comments like "there were not enough employers at the fair" and "there were no employers for my major" and "most of the employers are from the Eastern Shore."  All of these comments are taken in a constructive manner and we, SU Career Services, try to address them.  First I would like to tell you what goes in to organizing a job fair and some reasons for organizations attending or not attending.

How the SU Job Fair is developed:
1.  Over 1,000 employers are invited to the fair
2.  Many employers invited recruit from all majors (excluding education for this particular fair)
3.  The employers are located nationwide and some international

Reasons why employers do not attend:
1.  They do not have the budget
2.  They are not in our geographic area
3.  We do not have the major they are looking for
4.  They only recruit at colleges that they have historically recruited from
5.  Many employees are alumni from a particular college

As you can see there are many factors that come in to play when organizing a job fair.  These are not excuses-we will continue to bring as many employers to campus as we can-SU students deserve that.  In my opinion, the upcoming fair has a very good representation of employers and many highly visible organizations that have openings nationwide.  Take advantage of this fair and make sure you present yourself in a professional manner! 

Let me hear your thoughts. More on this later.

I work in the recruiting industry and I wanted to emphasize the last sentence: "make sure you present yourself in a professional manner!". I can guarantee you that if you come wearing shorts and a Mettalica tshirt we won't be very impressed. Instead, dress up as you were going to a job interview, bring a resume and rehearse before hands, so that you can answer questions smoothly and professionally.

students have to learn to act and dress professionally, its a big part of networking and that in itself is a big part getting a job
