New Mexico State University’s Office of Experiential Learning will host two fairs Nov. 2. The City of Albuquerque Job Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the ninth annual Health Professions Fair will be held from 2 to 5 p.m., at Corbett Center Student Union, first floor, on NMSU’s Las Cruces campus.
This is the first time that NMSU will host the City of Albuquerque Job Fair. The City of Albuquerque will have representatives from 12 departments recruiting applicants. Some of the departments attending are the Environmental Health Department, Police Department, Transit Department, Department of Technology and Innovation, Parks and Recreation, Aviation and General Services Department. This event is open to all current NMSU students and alumni as well as the general public. Individuals from all majors are encouraged to attend.
Employers attending the Health Professions Fair will be recruiting students majoring in the health and medical fields. This event also is open to all current NMSU students, alumni and 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 the day of 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. The Student Success Center offers assistance with resume review and interview preparation. For more information on career preparation, contact Yvonne Franco or Cody Womack at 575-646-3136.
