HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University students and alumni are invited to participate
in Career Fair 2017, the Office of Career Services’ annual university wide career
event.
Held as a benefit exclusively for Southeastern students and alumni, Career Fair
2017 will include over 130 organizational participants and will be held Thursday,
Sept. 21, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Pennington Student Activity Center on the
corner of University Avenue and General Pershing.
Representatives from various companies and associations, government agencies,
business, engineering, finance and banking industries will be on site to answer questions
and take resumes during the free event.
“Career Fair provides Southeastern students and graduates the opportunity to
obtain that much needed face time with recruiters to set themselves apart from the
rest of the pack and all of those faceless resumes that come their way,” said Ken
Ridgedell, director of Career Services. “There is no other venue that allows direct
interaction with recruiters and managers from over 130 employers and leaves a lasting,
positive impression. In fact, it would take months to speak with as many recruiters
as you can in one day at Southeastern’s Career Fair 2017.”
To get the most out of the fair, Ridgedell said students and alumni should bring
copies of their resumes; be prepared to briefly discuss career interests, goals, knowledge
and skills; and collect brochures and business cards.
