The James W. Stuckert Career Center will host its 2008 Business Career Fair Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom.
Around 100 companies will have booths at Wednesday’s event, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Dell, Procter & Gamble and Fifth Third Bank. Some companies will also be conducting open interviews for interested students.
Wednesday’s fair is the first of three career fairs the Career Center will host in the coming months. In October, the center will host one fair for students interested in jobs in the engineering field and another for students seeking a career in communications.
The Business Career Fair is expected to be the most diverse, representing companies from a wide range of disciplines such as agriculture, education and art.
The coordinator of Wednesday’s event, Azetta Williams Beatty, said the purpose of the Career Fair is for students to network with potential employers in a more laid-back atmosphere. She said it could also be beneficial to students not yet searching for a job.
“Students will get practice on a variety of skills, like speaking with confidence to a possible employer,†she said.
