FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
 
Q Are there any other companies attending? Is this the whole list?
A New companies register often. As soon as they register we add them to this list.
Q These employers aren't looking for me. Where can I find other jobs?
A

Are you looking for them? Do they have the job you want? Then let them know what skills and experiences you have that make you a good choice for them.

Not finding employers with the opportunities you want? Other career fairs may feature organizations that interest you more, but career fairs are only one part of your search. Networking, job listings (newspaper, online, professional journals, online classifieds, and many more), family, friends, instructors, and the CRC all provide many more opportunities than a single career fair could ever provide.

Q I want to work at a company but their info says they're not looking for people in my field. What do I do?
A Visit their recruiter at the event. Tell them why you want to work for their company and ask how you can find out about positions in your field. This contact with a company representative and the information you get could very well be worth the preparation and time it takes.
