Career Fair Draws Hundreds of Job-Seekers
This week, Cypress College hosted its Spring Career Fair and welcomed 300 students to network with representatives from 50 employers.
Companies in attendance included The Walt Disney Company, Hyatt Hotel Corporation, County of Orange, California Highway Patrol, Golden State Water Company, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Visit Anaheim, and Precision Scans. Students shared copies of their resume, learned about internship and career opportunities, and even participated in on-site interviews.
Industry partners and students can follow up in the coming weeks to connect over prospective positions. One student, at least, won’t follow up in the same manner; they were hired on-site.
An additional feature of the fair, the LinkedIn photobooth, provided a chance for students to take free professional headshots to use in their online profiles and other career-search outlets. Early employer feedback about the event was positive, including who said this was “the busiest career fair since we’ve been attending the last 3 years.”
