CAREER FAIR ENGINEERS JOB OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS

MANHATTAN -- The possibility of having more than 80 job options sounds unreal, but it's reality at the Engineering Career Fair.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, more than 80 companies will visit Kansas State University to recruit engineering students for full-time and internship positions. The Engineering Career Fair will take place on the second floor of the K-State Student Union.

Companies attending the fair include Black and Veatch, Cerner Corporation, Garmin International, Halliburton, National Instruments, Schlumberger and more.

Several of the companies also will interview select candidates the next day, Wednesday, Feb. 9.

The annual fair is sponsored by K-State's career and employment services and the College of Engineering.

Students should bring multiple copies of their resume to the fair, dress in appropriate business attire and come prepared to schedule a next-day interview. They are encouraged to research employers they want to visit with by checking out the fair’s website at http://www.k-state.edu/ces/students/cfengineeringcareerfair.htm.
