Sinclair Community College is holding annul student job fair to encourage students to network with different departments to benefit their future.
\nThe annual fall student job fair gives students a chance to apply for employment possibilities on campus, while giving them an opportunity to sell themselves, according to Tanya Grant, Sinclair coordinator of career services. The event will be held in the basement of Building 8, Thursday, August 28 at 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
\nGrant believes it\u2019s important to come with a resume, as well as being dressed professionally. She said students will be presenting themselves and communicating with multiple departments, so it\u2019s important to be prepared.
\n\u201cCome correct, come polished and come confident,\u201d Grant said. \u201cYou\u2019re marketing you.\u201d
\nThe job fair is about exploring areas of interest, and taking advantage of opportunities. This will expose students to more departments, clubs and associations. Students can either apply for Federal Work Study Funding to see if they are eligible to receive Federal aid, or they can be paid with the funds from the department.<\/p>\n
Grant suggests even if a department has a low budget, they might be able to create another work opportunity for students, if they receive
\nfunding. She said students are required to carry six credit hours per semester, as well as, maintaining a 2.0 GPA or higher. If you ask Grant what the most important aspect of being employed at Sinclair is, she would say experience and exposure. \u201cUse the opportunities here to practice like crazy,\u201d Grant said. Sinclair provides hands on experience in different departments for students to put their best foot forward once they are graduated. Grant said all the departments emphasize opportunities for students so that they can
\ncommunicate their talent to companies. \u201cThis allows students
\nto earn money, to obtain experience and to be better prepared,\u201d Grant said. Another aspect Grant believes is important is networking. This gives students a chance to meet people and
\nto market themselves. \u201cThe more people know about you, the more they\u2019ll propel you,\u201d Grant said. \u201cIt\u2019s not always what you know,
\nbut who you know.\u201d She said the more work ethic you develop and the more value you are to a department, the better your chances are to landing the job of your choice. Grant believes that each student is a tool, and what you present is the product. In the big scheme of
\nthings, businesses look at the students who took the time to
\nwork in college. This prepares students for what\u2019s ahead
\nin the future. Grant said it\u2019s important to be able to multitask
\nin college to show future employers that you\u2019re able to
\nhandle multiple things being thrown at you. Grant believes the job fair is a big plus for all students. It\u2019s about learning value, work
\nand ethics. The more exposure you have in a field, the
\nmore experience you\u2019ll have after graduation. She suggests
\ntaking this opportunity to create a future for yourself.
\n\u201cThe more you give of yourself, the more people give
\nyou,\u201d Grant said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
