As everyone experienced yesterday, the summer weather is slowly but surely heading our way. That means vacation, time at home, and no stressing about classes. As exciting as all this may be, you also need to keep an eye on your finances. Summer is the perfect time to save up money so you’ll have more time to study during the semesters.

Minimum wage jobs at food chain stores and malls may be fun, but they are not ideal: especially for college students. This is when your lovely recources at UML come into play! Career Services is offering a a career fair on Wednesday, April 14 from 1 PM – 4 PM.

Representatives from many local companies will be there looking for full time employees and also students interested in summer internship and co-op oppertunites. AND, it may even count as credits toward your major, cutting down on required work during the semester.

What you need:

• Dress professionally: it will show that you are serious about wanting a the position in the company
• Bring many copies of your resume: Even if you aren’t interested in an internship or co-op this summer, employers will track your progress through school. Turning in your resume this year will give you a leg up on the competition in the future
• A positive attitude: There will be many prospect employers there as well as many prospect employees. Having a positive attitude will make you stick out in their minds.
