Southeastern Louisiana University students and alumni are invited to participate in Career Fair 2024, the annual university‑wide event hosted by the Office of Career Services.
Held as a benefit exclusively for Southeastern students and alumni, Career Fair 2024 will include over 150 employer participants and will be held Thursday, Sept. 26, 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 a wide variety of employers will be on site to engage participants, answer questions, promote open jobs and internships, and take resumes during the free event.
“The 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 Craig Marinello, director of Career Services. “There is no other venue that allows direct interaction with recruiters and managers from over 150 employers that 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.”
To get the most out of the fair, Marinello said students and alumni should bring copies of their resumes; be prepared to briefly discuss career interests, goals, knowledge and skills; research desired employers with which to engage at the fair, and be prepared with questions to ask that cannot be answered on employer webpages.
