Employers will get a chance to find qualified student candidates at the Career Fair on Nov. 1 in the University Union Ballroom.

The Career Center released a list of of things that students can do to be the prepared for a successful job search at the career fair.

David McVey, a Sacramento State career counselor, said there are many things people can do in order to be do well in the job hunt.

“For those students in a job search, the Career Fair provides an excellent opportunity to meet representatives from a company or organization, about the company’s hiring needs, product/services, growth plan, and training program,” McVey said.

McVey said the Career Fair is a opportunity for students to meet face-to-face with the company representatives and to get contact information – something not necessarily available in the course of a typical job search.

“Also students are able to obtain the name and contact information of the representative and when the student does follow up correnspondance, and they are able to address it to a specific person,” McVey said.

The Drug Enforcement Agency will be one of the groups attending the Career Fair. Special Agent Lee Chamberlain said his agency looks for specific qualifications.

“We will be looking for well educated, and high caliber people,” McVey said. “They must have an interest in law enforcement especially in working for the DEA.”

The group Project Pipeline will also be at the career fair and looking for potential candidates.

The general education/special education coordinator Erica Galang said the Project Pipeline group will be looking for a certain type of employee.

Galang said: “We will be looking for people who are in the process of completing their bachelor’s degree, or who have already completed their degree and are interested in teaching grades K-12 special education or single subjects at the middle or highschool level.”

Galang also said that they need to also see leters of recommendation, all official transcripts from all of the schools that you attended, a current resume, and also a letter of intent.
