In collaboration with Maine CareerCenters, UMA’s third annual fair will be held in the Randall Student Center Fireplace Lounge at 46 University Drive. Open to the public, the fair will provide job seekers with a wealth of opportunities to connect with local employers from numerous industries, according to a news release from Jonathan Henry with the university.
“We are excited to partner with Maine CareerCenters to bring this event to UMA again this year,” said UMA Student Services Coordinator Haley Brown. “This is a great opportunity for students and the public to connect face-to-face with employers, network and build self-confidence as part of the job search process.”
Brown emphasized the value of job fairs in the job search process, calling them an efficient use of time that allows attendees to ask questions, practice networking skills and establish important connections. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” she said. “Employers can meet a lot of great candidates, while job seekers can expand their professional networks and potentially secure their next job or internship.”
