Links
to the participating school districts are available. Review this
information and know which district representatives you would like to
meet. While the Job Fair brings many hiring officials to campus, it also
attracts HUNDREDS of teacher candidates seeking a limited number of
positions. Do NOT use this event as your sole source for securing a job.
During previous events, inexperienced job seekers have expressed
frustration about the number of candidates competing with them for
interviews. Unprepared candidates will feel overwhelmed.
School districts will be available to speak with candidates on a first-come, first-served basis from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. During that time, school districts will have the option to schedule individual interviews in the afternoon with selected candidates. Therefore, it is recommended that you arrive early as some districts may fill up their afternoon schedule quickly.
Because of the large number of participants, you may
have to wait to speak with a recruiter. Please be patient and
courteous.
The
Penn Stater Conference Center is located at the Penn State Research Park
off Route 322 in the center of Pennsylvania.
It is accessible by all major highways; 90 miles from Harrisburg;
5 miles from University Park Airport, State College. Click here for detailed directions to the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel. A list of other accommodations in the area may be found at: http://www.visitpennstate.org/.
Early arrival is recommended so that you may have the opportunity to meet with as many districts as possible. Take
advantage of the opportunity to speak with as many school officials as
possible. Don't limit yourself geographically - you may be surprised! Do not
expect a job offer during the Job Fair. This
is part of the screening process. However, it is your
opportunity to make a good first impression.
Dress
professionally. You will be standing in line, so wear comfortable shoes
and don't carry a lot of excess baggage. Bring
plenty of quality resumes, pens and pencils to the event. Follow up with the districts in which you are interested. |
