Dear Career Expo Participant,
We hope you are looking forward to attending Career Expo on
February 21, 2010. We have been working very hard to make sure that our job fair is the best one you attend all year. It is important that you confirm your attendance to the Expo by emailing us at careers@truman.edu The following items will assist you in preparing to attend Expo:
1. Where to unload your materials and where to park.
2. Schedule of Expo events.
3. Information about the interview Day.
4. General Expo information.
Before going to the parking lot, turn into the lot on the south side of the Student Union to unload your display materials. There will be unloading signs marking where you turn. We will have students available to carry your boxes and displays into the building. In order to avoid a backlog of traffic at the unloading spot, please do not come into the building to register at this point. Make sure your materials are marked clearly with your name and your company's name. The student volunteers will transport your materials to your table for you while you park your car. After unloading, proceed to one of the parking lots mentioned below. It is a short walk to the Student Union or you may take the university shuttle van that will be provided. Once you reach the Union, you may proceed to the Recruiter Registration Table on the first floor of the Student Union. If you have questions about the parking procedure, please call.
You may park either in the University's Lot on the corner of Franklin and Patterson. Both lots are marked on the attached map. If both of these lots are full when you arrive, please proceed to Stokes Stadium lot, also marked on the attached map.

We ask your assistance in fielding questions from students. We encourage all students to talk to all employers, regardless of the major the student has and regardless of the major(s) you may be recruiting for specifically on the day of the job fair. We hope that you will answer questions that the students may ask regarding positions in your company for their field of interest and geographic preference, provide them with the name(s) of the appropriate person for them to contact for positions they may be interested in, and that you will forward the student's resumes to the appropriate persons in your organization if asked to do so. Many students with liberal arts majors are interested in your organization and have the skills and qualities your organization seeks. Please assist them as best you can.
We also ask that you remain at Career Expo until 4p.m. The job fair hours have been set from 11am until 4pm so that all students will have the opportunity to speak with you at Career Expo. While we understand that makes a long day for you, we want everyone to have a chance to speak with you.
Thank you,
Lesa Kerlin, Director
