Students looking for jobs or internships after graduation are encouraged to check out West Virginia University’s Career Fair on Thursday (March 3).

Approximately 70 employers from industries, non-profits and government agencies will be searching for students to fill their openings. The fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Sarah Glenn, assistant director of Employer Relations at West Virginia University’s Career Services Center, said while most of the opportunities are targeted toward internships and entry-level jobs. Some employers will have experienced and/or part-time opportunities.

“This is an excellent opportunity for students and alumni to meet employers and practice their networking skills, even if their ideal employer isn’t attending,” Glenn said.

For a list of employers, students can logon to MountaineerTRAK at www.myinterfase.com/wvu/student for the most accurate list and details about each organization.

All students are advised to dress professionally and bring several copies of their resumes. Students can review other career fair tips at http://careerservices.wvu.edu/students.If a student would like their resume reviewed, they can e-mail it to CareerServices@mail.wvu.edu.
