“Statistics show that over 75 per cent of jobs are found through networking,” says Jacquie Fuciarelli, co-ordinator, Events & Marketing, Career Services, on why students should consider attending the fair. “The 2005 Career Fair provides McMaster students with an opportunity to connect with employers from a wide variety of industries and build meaningful relationships; increasing their future career prospects.”

The largest career fair at McMaster University, Career Fair 2005 offers a forum for employers and students to meet face to face and make connections. Students are invited to meet with potential employers and explore opportunities for summer, co-op, internship and career positions while employers are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to share information and develop relationships with students and recent grads.
