KEARNEY – More than 70 companies and graduate schools will be represented at the University of Nebraska at Kearney Career Fair on Oct. 8. The event, free and open to the public, is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Nebraskan Student Union Ponderosa Room.
Two additional events, the Job Search Boot Camp and Employer Showcase, will be hosted to prepare students for the Career Fair.
The Job Search Boot Camp is from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Nebraskan Student Union rooms 310 and 312. The program will give students a chance to interact with employers while developing fundamental job search skills. The camp will have three different stations students can participate in: speed interviewing, resume critiques and professional introductions and networking.
The Employer Showcase is from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 7 in the union. Several professionals will present employment opportunities within their companies.
Each event will bring students, faculty and business professionals together to build relationships and network for jobs and internships, said Joni Weed with UNK’s Office of Career Services.
