Are you looking for job opportuni
ties? Are you not sure wliat you want to
do with your life? Did your teacher say
something about extra credit?
If you answered “Yes” to any of
these questions, the Career Fair is what
you’re looking for.
November 9 through 13 has been
designated as Career Week. Events to
be held include resume workshops,
interview workshops and how to do a
30-second commercial.
The Career Fair will be held
Wednesday, November 11 in the OMG
Hall from 1 to 4 p.m.
Students are reminded
that recruiters will be
there, so they need to be
“dressed to impress”
and have their resumes
with them.
“This will probably
be the biggest Career Fair we’ve ever
had. The reason for that is we’ve done a
really strong initiative in marketing to
different companies in the region,”
Holly Sweat, Director of Career
Services, said.
Companies
that will be rep
resented at the
fair includ: First
Union, BB&T,
Family Dollar
Corporate
Distribution,
Harris Teeter, Miliken, Kemet, PPG,
Curtis Wright and The Shelby Star.
The fair has been held for about six

years. What makes this year’s fair dif
ferent from previous ones is that stu
dents, as well as parents, will be “bom
barded” with information.
“The key thing is employers are
wanting work experience. If sophmores
and juniors are able to utilize the Career
Fair, they will be abl5 to get their foot
in the door in a company,” Sweat said.
Despite the fact that the fair is
aimed toward juniors and seniors,
freshman Heather Stewart plans to
attend. “It’s never too early to start
looking for internships,” Stewart said.

“I was glad when they said
unto me, let us go into the
house of the Lord,” says the
psalmist David. His sentiments
were echoed by many of his
own countrymen in Israel.
In that culture, the temple
was a vital part of life, serving
as both the religious and social
center of life. Now we have a

site where many of the Biblical
stories took place. McGehee
believes that it’s easier to dis

can see the actual setting.

McGehee.
