Our college placement office has started doing something that seems to hold much promise as it relates to the age old job fair. Now, instead of simply advertising that there will be a job fair on a certain date, they have begun to list out those companies that plan on being in attendance, as well as what they specialize in.

And just as importantly, where available to the placement office, they are releasing any specific positions the attending firms may be looking for. And related to this, is an expanded listing of any education or certification programs that may have representation at the fair.

In the upcoming job fair, mortgage training seems to be highlighted with a number of representatives in attendance. I suppose this makes sense given the current state of economic affairs in this country.

I even noticed a listing for Safe mortgage licensing with several links to further information about how the industry is now required to have specific guidelines for ongoing education in the mortgage industry.

By providing students like myself with this sort of advance information, I can do my homework well ahead of time and really take advantage of having those company’s representatives being on our campus. And that has to help in the search for the right job for my future.
