The Office of Career Services will have its career fair on Friday, October 17, but the RV of Career Services was on campus a day earlier. JobDirect, an Internet job search service, was on campus Thursday to sign students up for their free service. The organization creates databases of students by major and career interests.
Companies then pay a fee to gain access to resumes and lists of prospective candidates.
JobDirect specializes in entry-level markets. The JobDirect RV rolled onto campus this morning to set up shop and let Conn students sign up. Twenty students clustered around the laptops set up outside the RV as the Black Crowes played through the windows of the Jobmobile. The staff was on the I-95 run, from Burlington to Florida, stopping at colleges along the way. Other RVs run on the west coast and throughout the country.
