Manufacturing & Supply Chain Job Fair!

How to Find the Job That’s Right for You

SPC_LINCS_LinkedInBP_LinkedInBlogPhoto_webThe answer to “what do you want to be when you grow up?” may have changed since you were first asked that question. Maybe or maybe not.

Perhaps you are on the verge of deciding your occupation, what degree to pursue, what industry will allow for growth and flexibility and consistent financial gain.

These determinations are ironically more difficult to make today than they ever were. The ability to obtain advanced degrees and major in concentrations never before offered, provide for a dizzying array of options.

Here at St. Petersburg College, it is our commitment to educate, but also to open up the realm of possibilities.

To that end, we are hosting a MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY CHAIN JOB FAIR in partnership with Florida TRADE on March 23, from noon to 3 p.m.

Its focus is to bring together job seekers and employers within the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management sectors.  In attendance will be area employers with job openings for: entry level, professional, and management positions.

This event is not only FREE, it includes workshops that will run from 9 a.m. to noon covering topics such as:

  • Resume Tips and Critiques
  • Acing the Interview
  • Networking 101

Join us on March 23rd from noon to 3 p.m.
