Organizations planning to attend the fair represent a local, regional, national and international spectrum, including Bunge North America, Archer Daniels Midland, Schnucks, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Unilever-Sikeston and TGMissouri. This will give students the chance to meet someone in their respective field.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students and alumni to engage directly with over 120 registered recruiters and employers to learn more about employment and internship opportunities, said Dan Presson, employer relations coordinator in Southeasts Career Services.
Students who attend the fair are required to dress professionally, bring an updated copy of their resume and research each company they plan to visit ahead of time.
According to Career Services, professional dress consists of a dress shirt, tie, slacks, dress shoes and socks for men. For women, the preferred dress is a dress blouse (nothing low cut, tight or that shows midriff), jackets/twin sweater sets, modest length skirts, dresses, pant suits and dress shoes. If students do not have these particular garments, collared shirts, khaki pants and dressshoes are acceptable.
Additionally, Career Services has partnered with Mens Wearhouse to host a fashion police table to provide students with information and tips for entering the workforce dressed professionally.
Students needing help or preparation before the fair, can attend Career Services Walk-In Wednesdays Sept. 27, Oct. 4 and 11 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; or Photo Shoot Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 29 and Oct. 10 to have a headshot taken for use in professional social media.
Representative from the Missouri Jobs Center will also be attending to help students complete exit surveys. Career Services will use the surveys to assess the expo and continue to provide great employment events for students.
Students, even if they are unable to attend the Career Expo, are encouraged to upload their resume to www.redhawkjobs.com where employers will be able to view students resumes both before and after the event.
