What makes for the "perfect" job candidate in a tight employment market?
A new study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers shows that, for new college graduates in a recession, becoming the perfect job candidate is a tall order.
To assist students in finding jobs, Sonoma State University is holding the 22nd Annual World of Work Career and Summer Job Fair in the Student Recreation Center from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 26.
Joyce Chong, Director Advising, Career, and EOP Services, says the most important thing to tell students is not to wait until they graduate to think about jobs.
"Given the state of the economy, students have to work harder to land opportunities but they are there. "
More than 80 employers are expected to participate in the event, with full-time, part-time, summer and internship opportunities for students at all levels. It is the perfect opportunity for students to network with and learn about potential employers.
Students are encouraged to bring resumes.
