2nd Annual Regional Career Recruitment Expo

What: Regional Career Recruitment Expo – over 50 of Southwest Florida’s premier employers and over 100 hard to reach human resource professionals under one roof. Where: Alico Arena (FGCU campus). Once on the campus we will have directional signs. There are driving directions on the website at www.SWFLeducation.com When: April 15, 2008 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Parking: Parking is free and the earlier you get there the closer you will be able to park. Expectations: The participating businesses are among Southwest Florida’s top employers, therefore expecting a job offer the day of the Career Expo maybe a little unrealistic. In today’s job market, employers usually will conduct more than one interview, conduct some sort of background check, verify past employment, and contact references. However, you will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with over 50 of Southwest Florida’s top employers in one afternoon (an effort that would normally take months) and this is a great opportunity to network, discuss corporate career ladders and exchange business cards and resumes Dress: Dress to impress, you’ll get a second change to make a first impression.
