As an undergraduate at The College at Brockport, I interned with America Reads and Planned Parenthood. I've also worked on-campus with Career Services and Academic Advisement. With a bachelor's degree in English, I am continuing my education as a graduate student again in English. I plan to teach literature in Higher Education.

Job Fair Nerves

I had never attended a job fair until I worked for Career Services.


I was a junior when I started working here, but I had already completed an internship and found jobs through networking – I guess I didn’t realize how much help the office would have been until after I learned about all of its services.


Anyway, the job fair was approaching and I was scheduled to work it. I had been helping with the preparations – creating signs, marketing, etc. – but I still couldn’t prepare properly because it was unknown to me, other. I had never experienced anything like it and therefore had no idea what to expect.


I realized that a lot of other students might feel this way so I decided to post these pictures of previous job fairs we’ve held. This way, students can see both the layout and proper attire in an effort to be better prepared. There are also workshops on the Career Services website that provide tips for attending job fairs.
