More than 100 employers from across the nation will come to Indianapolis April 7 for the 10 th annual Indiana Collegiate Job Fair coordinated by the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Career Center. The unemployment rate is still very low. It is still a job seeker s market, Ream said.
Employers are hungry.
Nevertheless job seekers must go after the jobs, the coordinator said. One of the best things you get out of a job fair is the ability to get your foot in the door, to meet the persons doing the hiring, and hand them a resume, Ream said. In addition to meeting with prospective employers during the fair, job candidates can add their scannable resumes to a database distributed to all employers in attendance. Employers expected to be on hand for the 2000 ICFJ include such notable names as the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc., the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National City Bank and United Parcel Services.
