Shelly Drefs, expo organizer and student career services assistant at MHC, said face-to-face conversations can help job seekers stand out in a competitive employment market.

“Many people spend hours applying online and hoping for a response,” said Drefs.

“Career Expo allows attendees to have conversations with employers, ask questions and make connections that can open doors.”

The event has also helped people secure employment, practicum placements, internships and volunteer opportunities.

Drefs said the event has come full circle when former MHC students return to campus as employers looking to recruit new talent.

“We’ve had alumni return to campus to represent their organizations and recruit future talent; it’s always rewarding to see those connections continue long after graduation,” Drefs said.

The Career Expo is open and welcome to the public and does not require an admission fee.
