More than 90 employers are expected to have recruiters at the event, representing the areas of business, IT/computer science, health care, education, corrections and many others. A continually updated list of employers planning to attend the Career Expo is available at http://www.marshall.edu/career-services/career-expo/.
Denise Hogsett, director of the Office of Career Education, said students are encouraged to dress professionally and come prepared with multiple copies of their resumes. Hogsett said even if students are not looking for a job, attending the expo presents an excellent networking opportunity.
In preparation for the event, students may visit Career Services or watch for information tables in the student center lobby to receive assistance with building a professional resume, tips on talking to recruiters and networking effectively and how to introduce themselves to recruiters using your ‘elevator speech’ or ’30 second commercial’.
