On April 11, 2019, Manor College will host a Career Fair on campus. Held in the gymnasium from 1:30-3:00pm, the Career Fair will take place during the student common hour when no classes are being held. Students can meet with different employers to find and apply for jobs that interest them. Christine Prince, Manor’s career counselor and fair organizer, states, “I think it’s a great day for students, staff and the community. The goal is for students to know what’s out there and find employment. It could also give them practice with interviewing skills and getting comfortable talking to employers.”

Contests and Public Access

There are a couple recent features added to the Fair, beyond the employer booths. Dr. Marc Minnick, Senior Dean, Division of Business and Technology, will host an elevator pitch contest.  A prize will be given to the student who can best sell themselves in a short amount of time. The Fair is also open to the public and Manor encourages anyone in the community seeking employment to come.

Preparing for the Fair: Pop Up Shop

Manor is also offering its students a “Pop Up Shop,” in the campus ministry office on April 1 and 2, 2019. People from Manor and the community have donated business clothing that is gently used or new that can be worn in the event of a job interview. Prince says, “Manor students who are going to the career fair or on a job interview are welcome to help themselves to the clothes. This way they will be well prepared and have a professional appearance.”

Any questions about any of these two events can be directed to Christine Prince at CPrince@Manor.edu.
