University of Guam will be holding its annual job fair on April 29, 2016 from 9-2 am at the Calvo Field House, coordinated by Mrs. Sallie McDonald.
\nThe job fair started in the late 80\u2019s with Mrs. Leah Beth Nahalowa\u2019a coordinating the event. Since 2013, McDonald has moved from her position in Student Life Office and is now the career development event coordinator. McDonald always had an interest in careers and loved planning. She tries her hardest to provide the best service to students and the general public with a zealous passion. In fall 2012, the first major event that McDonald coordinated was Dare to Declare which was to help students declare their major.
\n \u201cThe job fair is intended for student who are graduating in May. It is intended for current students who are not graduating, but looking for some internships.\u201d
\nIn the near future, Mrs. McDonald is planning to have a high school seniors attend the job fair as a field trip so they have knowledge of what to expect before and when they start working. The proposal is currently ongoing with the Department of Education.
\nAttending the job fair prepares you for an on-site interview. One should come dressed with the files needed such as resume, cover letter, and job application. The job fair is open to the public, but \u201cIt is intended to target our current students and our alumni,\u201d Mrs. McDonald said. Featured employers will be on site to do interviews as well as hire people on the spot.
\nMcDonald knows her workshops are effective because there are student success stories. McDonald likes to invite her successful students as testimonies to encourage students to attend workshops and job fairs because they are helpful and can potentially land them a career with a future employer.
\nOne workshop McDonald coordinates is the Dress for Success workshop where she collaborates with Belta Perez, director and owner of the successful modeling school John Robert Powers on Guam.
\nDon\u2019t miss out on the event because you could potentially land a career. For more information contact Mrs. McDonald at salliemcd@uguam.uog.edu or 735-2233.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
