Career Resources Specialist Terri DeWerff said Career Services looks forward to connecting employers with job seekers on campus.

DeWerff said 50 employers have registered for the fair this year.
“The goal is to provide an event for employers and job seekers to connect, assisting employers with their hiring needs while keeping job seekers active with their career goals,” DeWerff said.
DeWerff said networking is all about connections. Meeting potential employers builds the job seeker’s network, provides an opportunity to utilize communication skills, and builds confidence. She added that making a good impression with a professional resume and an effective elevator pitch causes the prospective employer to take notice.
Job seekers are encouraged to dress to impress and bring multiple copies of their resumes. Questions? Contact Terri DeWerff at (618) 468-5503 or tdewerff@lc.edu for more information.
