The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Corbett Center Student Union, first floor, on the NMSU Las Campus. Employers are invited to attend and can register via Handshake.
This year’s Employment Extravaganza event provides NMSU students the opportunity to connect with local and regional employers and discuss their available positions. Some of the employers scheduled to attend this year’s Employment Extravaganza include Bruckner’s Truck and Equipment, Las Cruces Police Department, Federal Highway Administration, New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration among others.
This event is open to all current NMSU students and alumni as well as the general public. Candidates can view the most current list of employers attending the fair on Handshake. It is recommended that students research potential employers in advance and dress professionally for the fair. Handshake is accessible on the OEL website at oel.nmsu.edu.
It is also recommended that students update their resumes prior to the fair and be ready to distribute to employers.
