Posted on Feb. 9: Summer Job Fair heats up hunt for employment

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/summer_job_fair.jpg” caption=”Summer Job Fair logo”]Summer may seem like eons away, but that is what's on the minds of many students and prospective employers these days.

Career Planning and Employment Centre (CPEC) will host its annual Summer Job Fair tomorrow (Tuesday) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the McMaster University Student Centre marketplace.

“The Summer Job Fair is the perfect opportunity for students to start their summer job search,” says Heather Hines, CPEC events & marketing co-ordinator. “The good jobs go quickly so waiting until after exams might leave students disappointed.”

Twenty-eight employers, including the City of Hamilton, McMaster University, YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington and several camp organizations, are participating this year.

CPEC also is offering “How to Find a Summer Job” workshops, resume coaching sessions and a mock interview service throughout the day.
