LACEY, Wash. — More than 80 potential employers will be on hand Tuesday, April 9 to meet with students and job seekers at the 2013 Career and Internship Fair, co-sponsored by Saint Martin’s University and The Evergreen State College. The fair will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Marcus Pavilion on the Saint Martin’s University campus, 5300 Pacific Ave. SE. The fair is free and open to the public. Saint Martin’s students and alumni are encouraged to attend.

This year’s fair will feature employers from private industry, government agencies and non-profit organizations. Some will be conducting on-site interviews for full-time, part-time and summer positions. Several colleges and universities will represent their graduate programs at the event.

“We are very pleased that new organizations are planning to attend, and hope the generous number of recruiters this year is a sign of an improving economy,” says Ann Adams, director of career services at Saint Martin’s. “We are especially grateful to our core group of organizations who attend each year, even if they are not hiring right now, to meet our students and help them make connections for future employment.”

Adams recommends that job-seekers come prepared by wearing appropriate business attire, bringing multiple copies of resumes, and brushing up on interview skills in advance. A list of employers planning to attend can be found at www.stmartin.edu/career_fair/.

Even for those not immediately seeking employment, the fair provides a valuable opportunity for attendees to gather information, polish their professional image and learn to market themselves more effectively, Adams says.

This year’s fair sponsors are the Associated Students of Saint Martin’s University, Saint Martin’s Alumni Association, Bon Appétit, ABC Printing, Walla Walla University, Society of Human Resources Management, Insight Global, Anchor Bank, and ResCare Homecare.
