More than 130 companies, agencies expected at Friday SVSU employment fair

Saginaw Valley State University will host its Fall University-wide Employment & Networking Fair this week.

More than 130 employers are expected to attend the event Friday, Oct. 12, from noon to 3 p.m. in SVSU’s Curtiss Hall second-floor banquet halls and seminar rooms. 

The Fall University-wide Employment & Networking Fair — along with the other seven employment fairs hosted annually on campus — are open to the public.

This week’s employment fair will offer opportunities to visit with representatives from companies and agencies based locally and across the nation. Bay City Public Schools, Chemical Bank, Consumers Energy, Covenant HealthCare, Dow Chemical Co., the FBI, Hemlock Semiconductor, Nexteer Automotive, Michigan State Police, and Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans are among the employers expected to attend Friday.

“I would recommend anyone attending bring about 15 to 20 copies of your résumé,” said Bill Stec, interim director of the SVSU Career Services office that coordinates the employment fairs. “And dress professionally.”

As part of the employment fair activities, Dynamic Focus Photography from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will provide free professional photos that attendees can use for their LinkedIn social media profiles, Stec said.
