The 2012 Engineering Job Fair provided UMaine students with the opportunity to meet with potential employers. Engineers of all grade levels were able to interact directly with the companies and create connections. This year 77 employers were represented, a 20% increase from last year, and approximately 800 students attended.
What to wear is one of the big concerns students can have when getting ready for a job fair. The Career Center Pinterest account has lots of examples to help you create the perfect outfit. http://bit.ly/TGzhY1
We’ve mentioned the Maine Mentor Program before and we will do it again. Making connections with alumni in your field of study can create many possibilities. Take time to explore the MMP database and set up an informational interview with an alumni. http://bit.ly/Rbbr2O

Jump Start Your Career was an event focused on helping UMaine students gain a competitive edge in the job and internship search. The afternoon included an Alumni Panel, lead by moderator Kimberly Smith of Enterprise Rent-a-Car, explained what they wished they would have known about the job search while at UMaine. After the panel, students headed to the atrium of the Donald P. Corbett Building to explore the various station in order in order to gain skills related to the job search and professional world. Topics covered included resume reviews, networking skills and business etiquette. It was a fantastic day and many prizes were given away, including the iPad. A big thank-you to all of the alumni, employers, and sponsors; Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the Maine Business School, and the Division of Student Affairs.
