ECC to host Part-Time Job Fair
91ӣƵ will host a Part-Time Job Fair Friday, Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. The event will take place in the Barnhill-Jenkins Center for Innovation (CFI) on the Tarboro campus.
“There are students who can’t juggle a full-time job and school, so we wanted to find employees who could offer both,” said Shaquana Deans-Thorne, ECC recruiter and career services counselor.
ECC students and the general public are invited to attend the event, where they will have the opportunity to learn more about the various companies on site, and potentially obtain an interview or job offer.
There will also be a College Central Corner where students and employers can obtain additional information about registering on ECC’s Online Job Board. The College Central Network is a platform providing technology to connect employers with qualified candidates. The CCN app features opportunities for internships, part-time jobs and full-time employment.
The Dress for Success Mobile Boutique bus will be outside of the CFI. According to their website, the mobile unit is “packed with a curated selection of apparel designed to empower women as they enter the job market.”
Current students, alumni and community members are encouraged to attend the free Part-Time Job Fair and to bring copies of their resume. Deans-Thorne says participants should dress professionally and prepare a one-minute intro about who they are and the type of job they are seeking.
