On November 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Riverside City College hosted a successful Career Expo that welcomed over 150 students and recent graduates eager to connect with recruiters, gain industry insights, and explore career paths. More than just a job fair, the Career Expo offered a comprehensive experience for students to learn about various professions, discover internship and job openings, and better understand different organizations' missions and cultures.

The event gave students a unique opportunity to meet one-on-one with recruiters from a wide range of industries, helping them build professional networks and receive personalized guidance on navigating the application process, from resume-building tips to interview preparation. Attendees also gained valuable insights into standing out in today’s competitive job market and aligning their career goals with employers' values.

As an additional incentive, a free lunch was provided to the first 125 students who completed the Career Expo Passport, further encouraging attendees to engage with multiple employers and make the most of the event.
