The Spring Career Fair is being held Wednesday, February 13 from 11 am to 4 pm in the Armory. The Center for Career and Professional Development has put together a helpful guide that covers how to design a résumé, letter-writing guidelines in the job search, things to think about in the interview process and how to navigate a career fair. The booklet is full of examples and helpful tips. A PDF version can be found at http://www.rpi.edu/dept/cdc/CCPD_Career_Guide_2012_13.pdf
I would encourage every student to attend the Career Fair, and if you have questions after reviewing the guidebook, please make an appointment with a career counselor through their online appointment system or drop in during their walk-in hours: Monday, 1 pm–3 pm; Tuesday, 2 pm–4 pm; Wednesday, 1 pm–3 pm; Thursday, 9am–11 am; Friday, 10 am–12 pm.
Don’t forget to register to attend the Career Fair and do a little research on the companies you’re interested in talking to. Best of luck at the Career Fair.
