Why Attend?
 
Career & Post Graduate Expo 2008 will provide a valuable link between a student's education and career goals. This event will be an excellent opportunity for you to network and build relationships with employers, determine prospective areas of employment, acquire valuable knowledge about post-graduate education, and gain community awareness from non-profit organizations.

Many students on our campus have realized their career goals through participation at our career-related events. An employment offer may not be the sole purpose for your participation at our Career & Post Graduate Expo. The process of preparing for career-related events, researching various companies, revising your resume, practicing interview skills, and meeting potential employers are all valuable opportunities and learning experiences. Having you participate in these activities will ensure you to be a better qualified candidate.

Career & Post Graduate Expo 2008 will be held on Tuesday November 4th, 2008 . The event will be held from 11:00am - 2:00pm in the Ian D. Beddis Gym (Walker Complex area).
