Ouachita’s Career Services Office to host Career Fair April 5

March 30, 2011


ARKADELPHIA, Ark.—Ouachita Baptist University’s Office of Career Services will host a Career Fair for all majors on Tuesday, April 5, from 2-4 p.m. in Walker Conference Center on OBU’s campus.

“The Spring Career Fair is a great way to make connections with employers,” said Mallory Moddelmog, director of Career Services. “Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, it is a smart way to network and get yourself out in front of employment recruiters. It is also a great chance for students to learn about internship opportunities and career options as well as get a sense of who is hiring.”

Students will have the opportunity to meet representatives from more than 50 organizations from a variety of fields. Available positions include full- and part-time positions as well as internships. Students can also visit with graduate schools and test prep representatives.

“I think employers are interested in recruiting OBU students due to the caliber of students at Ouachita,” Moddelmog said. “OBU produces such a quality product and employers are extremely interested in hiring our students. Employers attend our Career Fair to advertise their organization and increase their visibility with our students.”

Moddelmog will host a workshop to help students prepare for the career fair on March 30 from 12:15-12:50 p.m. in the Ouachita Commons Alumni Room. They will discuss such topics as how to research companies attending the fair, what questions students should ask, how to dress and how many resumes to bring. She will also teach students how to make a good first impression and craft a 60-second sound bite about yourself.

Students unable to attend the OBU Career Fair are welcome to attend the Henderson State University Career Fair being held the same day, April 5, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in HSU’s Garrison Center.
