Career Fair - March 9, 2011!!

Shelton State Community College's annual Career Fair will be March 9, 2011.  It will be held in the Martin Campus Atrium from 9 AM - 12 NOON.

Students should come prepared to speak to representatives from over 45 companies within the Tuscaloosa and surrounding areas.  It is good practice for each student to bring several copies of his or her resume to hand to select companies.

We are excited to announce the Tuscaloosa Area Career Center will be on campus with its "Mobile Career Center".  Students will have the opportunity to speak with representatives from the local office and to register with the JobLink website.  JobLink is the state database for clients looking for employment and is used for jobseekers to post their resumes and apply for jobs.  JobLink is also for employers to post jobs around Alabama and to review jobseekers' resumes.
A complete online list of companies planning to attend is as follows:
