    The 16th Annual IVCC Job Fair will be April 12 with the theme of “Jazz up Your Job.” The event will be in the Lower Gym from noon until 6 p.m. and will attract around 80 employers seeking employees to fit their needs.
    The Job Fair is open to anyone looking for a part-time, full-time, or seasonal job. Also students get information about a specific job or career field.
    Sharon Barthelemy, coordinator of career services, recommends job-seekers bring up to 10 copies of their resumes. Applications for jobs will also be available to fill out. “The whole thing is you selling yourself to employers and you want to dress for success,” says Barthelemy. “You want to make yourself stand out.”
    Career Services sends out applications to over 400 different employers. The employers are also screened to make sure they are eligible to come to the fair.
    The jobs offered are real jobs that are targeted for helping students in their academic field of study, Barthelemy said. A list of employees who will attend the Job Fair are available on the Career Services home page.
    Students who might interview for jobs in other venues may consider attending an Etiquette Dinner, scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 22 at the Uptown Bar and Grill in La Salle.
    This is the first year the dinner has been scheduled. The cost of the dinner will be subsidized by Student Government, but students who attend still must pay a $15 fee. Reservations are due March 15.
