Career services part 1

The first job fair that I attended this semester was held at the A.E.England building. It was well advertised and there were a fair number of employers. The employers were also very diversified. But I noticed that there were very few government agencies. There was DES and BLM, neither of which are interested in UMS majors.

There are several agencies that I think would have better served SPA. A recruiter from any of the Municipalities here in state or from out of state would have been awesome.. Someone from MAG or any of the other regional planning authorities also would have been a plus. There are also a ton of federal agencies, departments, and commissions who would be interested in our SPA Graduates. Overall I was not impressed with the number of fast food, retail, and credit card recruiters that were there. The health field seemed to have the most diverse recruiters.
