Each year, the Sacramento State Career Center coordinates and organizes the Spring and Fall Career Fairs, and dozens of events like them, in order to give students a better chance at finding a successful career.

In addition to the general fall and spring fairs, the center holds fairs for specific industries such as nursing, engineering and social work.

Other events include mock interviews, internship workshops and company information meetings. The interviews and workshops are designed to help students make a good impression during their first steps into the job market, while the information meetings aim to give students a feel for the work environment at specific companies.

Target, PG&E, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and others recruit students through internship interview days, hosted by the Career Center. The center also offers counseling for those who are unsure what career path to take.

All Career Center events are free for students and recent graduates. Six months after graduating, alumni who wish to continue using the center must pay a $20 annual fee. Services are also available to the general public for a $25 fee.

The Career Center is located at 2000 Lassen Hall and is open Monday ?Friday, 8 a.m. ? 5 p.m., with additional hours on Tuesday and Wednesday until 7 p.m. Call 278-6231 to schedule an appointment or for more information.
