SANFORD - Are you thinking about a career in engineering, the medical industry, business, or another field? If so, explore the possibilities at the Central Carolina Community College Annual Career Fair 2016.

The CCCC Career Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 17, at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, 1801 Nash St., Sanford. The Career Fair is geared toward CCCC students and alumni, and is open to the general public.

Mary Parker, CCCC Career Center Coordinator in Lee County, says this will be another large event with more than 80 businesses, industries, and health service providers being present. "They want to meet you -- students and career seekers alike -- in consideration for employment, internship and long-term career opportunities they have available," says Parker.

Among the companies and agencies to be represented at the Career Fair include Arden Companies, Boon Edam Inc., Caterpillar, UNC Health Systems, GKN, N.C. State Highway Patrol, and the United States Postal Service, just to name a few.

CCCC students will seek out opportunities for full-time and part-time employment, as well as internships. The CCCC Career Center has held several workshops -- "Career Fair Etiquette and Network Strategies" and "The Art of Writing a Resume For a Career Fair" -- to prepare students and other participants for the event.

There is no charge and no pre-registration for those attending the CCCC Career Fair. However, participants are reminded to bring resumes and dress professionally (business casual) for the event to make that favorable impression from first glance.

The CCCC Career Center offers the following services: career and internship advising, online career assessment, career exploration, resume writing, interviewing etiquette, on-campus interviews, and a career resource library.

The Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday. To schedule an appointment or for more information, people can contact the Career Center at 919-718-7396 or visit the CCCC website at www.cccc.edu/careercenter.
