“Participants will learn how to more effectively interact with employers, dress
in acceptable attire, and better prepare one’s time before, during and after Career
Fair 2016,” said Ken Ridgedell, director of Career Services.
Over 130 employers will participate in Career Fair 2016, which is scheduled Thursday,
