51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's Career Day 2002, scheduled for Feb. 27, will offer those looking for new career opportunities a chance to meet with more than 140 prospective employers.
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center. While targeted primarily to 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ students and alumni, the event is open to the public. There is no admission charge.
"Considering the employment climate, right now we recommend that those looking for a job take advantage of every available resource," said Rita Bocchinfuso-Cohen, assistant director of career services at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. "Career Day gives job-seekers a chance to practice the skill most sought by hiring employers - a strong ability to communicate."
Employers from a variety of fields, including business, hospitality, health care, engineering, and law enforcement, will have booths at Career Day. Employers will be interested in hiring for full-time and part-time positions as well as for internships and summer jobs.
Exhibitors include Bank of America, Nevada Power, Southwest Airlines, local and federal government agencies, and national hotel and casino chains. A full list of employers planning to participate is available by clicking the Career Day link on the Career Services page.
