College Career Fair Is Sign of the Times

When you are searching for
that great job, it’s not always neces-

at Douglas College’s Career Fair
1991.

The fair will host over 30 of
Canada’s leading banking, govern-
ment, professional, and business
agencies. It’s a great opportunity
for the public as well as students
to browse the job market, says
Brigitte O’Rooney, Douglas
College’s Alumni and Develop-

“Whether people are presently
emploved or not, Career Fair 1991
gives tair-goers the chance to pur-

meet others who share their oc-

Career Fair Committee Chair-

“We got a lot of positive feed-
back from companies who at-
tended, and from the public as
well,” says Thomas. “The idea is
becoming more popular as
modern times require that we take
a more dynamic approach to
employment.”

Career Fair 1991 will be held
in the Douglas College concourse
on March 19th from 11 am to 6pm.
