PURPOSE
The largest college recruitment program in the state brings together New Jersey area employers with college students and graduates seeking employment. Experienced candidates are also welcome to attend.

EMPLOYER PARTICIPATION
Over 150 employers will have current and anticipated openings in most career fields and academic majors, including liberal arts, business, science, and technical areas. (Some careers are generally not represented, such as education, advertising, public relations and the media.)

CANDIDATE PARTICIPATION
Open to students and graduates from any college or university, all degree levels and majors, who wish to work in New Jersey. Resume submission is not required to attend the event, but is required to participate in the electronic resume database. Dress for interviewing and bring plenty of resumes. There is no fee.

TIPS TO CANDIDATES
• Bring a pen, paper, and a folder or portfolio for holding resumes and writing while standing. Turn off cell phones in the employer areas.

• Enter your resume into an electronic database which will be sent to each employer one week after the event. See details below.

• Bring multiple copies of an attractive, printed resume to give to employers at the event. No photocopying services are available. Do not bring your resumes on disk.

• Parking: Follow directions below to a large parking lot. A shuttle (3 Rutgers buses) running continuously from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. will drop you off at the event (Brower Commons).

• Leave your backpacks (and coats?) in your car.

• Give the representative your resume, offer a firm handshake, and be ready to discuss your background, qualifications, and career goals. Ask about the organization and opportunities.

• Research employers in advance!! The list will be on our website beginning May 1. Collect business cards at the event. Come early to speak with as many representatives as possible.

2 day workshop + one follow-up appointment
Friday and Saturday, June 11-12 - Register NOW!

Need answers to the big questions about where you are headed next?
Not sure what kind of job you are interested in or how to find it?
Are you graduating this year and lack the know-how or confidence to network?

This two day workshop helps you to do all of these! Unlike other career assessments and workshops, you'll be able to assess your strengths and identify what you enjoy, things that you do well and events or experiences in which you take pride. It motivates you to succeed. Ultimately by learning more about yourself through this process, you open up new opportunities.
The focus in this workshop is a non-traditional job search process. Through guided group discussions, participants will:

* Identify what you are good at and what you love to do
* Learn to articulate your worth to an employer
* Learn to make contacts whenever you may want them
* Succeed in interviews
* Work with a support team to increase self-confidence

The workshop is designed for all levels from freshmen to graduate students and alumni.
The registration fee for current UMBC Students is $50. Details and the online registration form can be found at
http://careers.umbc.edu/skills/ds.php

You could win $500 cash, just by sharing your views on the job-search process. Participate in the 2010 NACE Student Survey, sponsored by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, and you are eligible to win!

It's easy: Complete the survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2010NACEstudentsurvey

Anytime between now and April 30, 2010, and you are eligible to win. Good luck!

Your individual response will remain absolutely confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside of NACE. Only aggregate data will be presented in any reports or articles based on the responses to this survey.
