Brush Up that Résumé for the Fall Career Fair

Rider undergraduate, graduate students and alumni will have a chance to market themselves to prospective employers on Thursday, November 6, during the Fall Career Fair in BLC Cavalla Room.

More than 65 companies from fields ranging from finance and retail to nonprofits and state and federal government will be represented from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fair will feature full-time and part-time employment, internships, externships and summer opportunities. Participating employers will be looking for all types of majors and background.

Clair Hamm, associate director of Career Services and coordinator for this fall’s Career Fair, said students and alumni who come to the fair will have an edge over other internship or job hunters.

“This is an excellent opportunity to meet with all these companies and representatives,” Hamm said “Everyone knows it’s a tough market out there. The more contacts you make the better advantage you will have.”

Students and alumni seeking help with preparing and updating résumés and cover letters, are welcomed to stop by Career Services on Wednesday, November 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Career Services is located in Bart Luedeke Center, Room 237.
 
All who attend the Career Fair are encouraged to wear professional attire and bring plenty of résumés to hand out to company representatives. Students and alumni should come prepared and know how to articulate what type of work they are looking for, Hamm said.
