Students can get help prior to the job fair by stopping by the Career Development Center, located in Wigley Administration 209, using their QuickStop service. The QuickStop service is available to students from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Students can use it to polish their resumes and get it ready for the fair itself. “You can pop in without an appointment and have a question answered. Whether it’s your resume, how to prepare for this job fair, wanting to do a quick mock interview, with a couple of questions you’re not sure how to answer, we’re always a good resource for that,” Wubben said. To find the employer that best suits you, check out the updated list of employers online. Just go to mnsu.edu and search “summer job fair,” and you should be able to get a list of employers. The list includes Z99 Radio, Valleyfair, and the St. Peter Recreation & Leisure Services Department to name a few.
