LSUS to host career fair for students and alumni

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Louisiana State University in Shreveport will host a career fair for students and alumni.

The event will feature 40 employers representing various industries, including healthcare, education, law, law enforcement, and local and state agencies.

“People don’t want to take a chance on an unknown entity, so if job seekers can put a face with a name articulate why they may be an asset to an organization, they are a lot more likely to give you a shot,” said Jennie Flynn-McKevitt, LSUS Director of Career Services.

Students and alumni will also have the opportunity to receive professional assistance with their resumes through career services until November 7. According to a press release, Flynn-McKevitt and her team will be available for walk-in appointments on Wednesday at the Basic Needs Fair from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Thursday in the Student Success Center from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and on Friday for a resume workshop from 11:00 a.m. to noon in the Student Success Center.

The career fair will be held on November 12, at the University Center Ballroom from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
