Today is Career Day at Bakersfield College. Starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 1 p.m., April 25, in and outside of the Campus Center, Fireside Room, and the cafeteria. Businesses will be giving out information and applications.
Over 120 companies have signed up so far. Just to name a few, the different businesses range from medical care, law enforcement, food services, banks, computer technology, print and broadcast media, many county agencies and many more local businesses. According to Denise Crawford, coordinator of WorkAbility III, people have been hired on the spot in the past at this event.
Expected to be the biggest Career Day ever at BC, Crawford recommends to dress appropriately, have a prepared resume, shake hands, get business cards and then follow up. “The ones that are actually prepared, and they go around and shake hands with the employers, are the ones that are going to stand out to the employers,” said Crawford. “It’s once a year. So, hopefully they are going to come out and take advantage of this.It’s a great event because we have all these employers in one spot.”
This Career Day and job fair is an annual event held at BC, sponsored by Bakersfield College Job Placement and The Kern County Broadcasters Association.
