Bigger expectations in place for this year’s Job Expo

On Tuesday, April 29, the Career Center will be holding its annual Job Expo.

In past years the Job Expo has drawn more than 50 companies actively looking for new hires.

According to Career Center coordinator Pippa Pierce, the expo is expected to draw that and then some.

“Even if you are not actively seeking a job or career, (the expo) will give you the experience speaking to potential employers. It will also allow you to find out what skills they are seeking in potential employees,” Pierce said.

The list of companies include local eateries such as Panda Express and Sonic Burger, as well as larger organizations such as the California Department of Corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The Job Expo will be held the Student Union from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. This event is free to students as well as members of the community.
