NEMCC Hosts Job Fair

BOONEVILLE, MISS. (WCBI) – The annual Spring Job Fair brought 50 employers to Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville on Tuesday.

All NEMCC students and alumni were invited to take part and they were encouraged to bring a current resume to give to prospective employers.

Organizers say the job fair gives students important opportunities.

“Some of our students just need experience learning to approach employers, talk to them and find out more about them and also tell them about themselves and what programs they’re completing, what they’ve achieved at Northeast,” said NEMCC Career Technical Counselor Carrie Cobb.

“It’s been going good, we’ve been walking around, making contacts, trying to hopefully get prospective jobs and hopefully make a good impression on everybody,” said NEMCC nursing student Charity Darst.

The job fair also gave the Mississippi National Guard a chance to promote its new program called “Magnolia Gold.” which is specifically for college students.
