IUPUI job fair set for March 31 INDIANAPOLIS—Nearly 100 companies are expected to be on hand to interview prospective employees at the Indiana Collegiate Job Fair on March 31. Hundreds of job seekers also are expected to attend the job fair, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the 500 Ballroom of the Indiana Convention Center and RCA Dome, 100 S. Capitol Ave. The annual event, sponsored by IUPUI, Indiana and Purdue universities, is open to recent graduates or soon-to-be degreed students from any 2 or 4 year college or university. Low employment and other signs of a generally robust economy should send a positive message to new college students, said Tim Bennett, coordinator of the Indiana Collegiate Job Fair. “It’s a job hunter’s market,” Bennett said. “Employers are flocking to college job fairs to find qualified job applicants.” Job fair candidates can register before March 17 by sending a current resume and a check for $10 to ICJF Candidate Registration, 801 W. Michigan St., BS 2010, Indianapolis, IN 462025153. Registration on the day of the fair is $20. For more information, call (317) 2742554, ext. 4. ❖
