Students looking for work and employers looking for students met, chatted, and in some cases shook hands and agreed on a starting date at the annual work-study fair. AU’ schools, colleges, and departments set up tables in their hunt for part-time student workers, and a number of off-campus employers were hiring as well. Nonprofits such as DC Reads were among the off-campus employers who can use federal work-study students by signing up through the Career Center. “Basically it’s a chance for campus and off-campus employers to meet [prospective workers] in person. A lot of students came with résumé, and there was some hiring done on the spot,” said Shandra Rowand, Human Resources, one of the organizers of the fair. Employers and students can get more information, and even check out positions online, at www.american.edu/hr/fws.html. |
