In preparation for the fair, Career Services hosted a workshop to help students with building a resume. Career Pathways hosted a Job Fair Boot Camp today that allowed students to learn about how to dress for success, resumes and cover letters, interview and job search skills, and grooming tips. The Student Government Association partnered with Adult Education to establish a professional clothes closet on campus that students can access to get professional attire for interviews.

Community partners that assisted with the camp included the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, The Diva of Hair Beauty Salon, Nearly New Consignment Shop, Hot Springs Housing Authority, Arkansas Career Training Institute, Veteran’s Services, Educational Talent Search, and a makeup artist and former Career Pathways student Nichelle Williams.
