Spring 2018 Education and Human Services Career Fair

Don't miss this fantastic event!!

 
Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Northeastern Illinois University
Student Union - Alumni Hall
Noon– 4 p.m.

The fair is sponsored by Northeastern's Student Counseling and Career Services. A wide range of organizations will be participating in this event, including employers in education, human services and other fields.

This career fair will provide opportunities for:

• First- and second-year students to learn about volunteer and part-time job opportunities where they can begin to explore their career options.
• Juniors to research internship opportunities with a wide range of education organizations, nonprofits, and social service and governmental agencies.
• Seniors to meet with employers looking to fill full-time positions in education, management, social services, health and marketing.
• All students to network among professionals.

Signup is not required for job seekers. Students are, however, strongly encouraged to be prepared. As many of you are aware, one of our ongoing challenges at Northeastern is helping students to understand the importance presenting themselves professionally when meeting with perspective employers. Given that, we would particularly appreciate your help in encouraging students to do their homework prior to the event. Below are some examples of steps students should consider so they can make the most of their career fair experience:

1. Attend one of the “Making the Most of a Career Fair” workshops that will be offered on March 7 from 4-5 p.m. and then repeated on March 8 from 3-4 p.m. The location for both workshops in B-119.
2. Make an appointment to meet with a career counselor by calling (773) 442-4650 to get assistance with designing a quality resume and preparing their 30-second introduction for employers.
3. Put together their career fair "look." Professional dress is highly recommended.
4. Research the employers who will be attending the Career Fair here.
