The Career Center at Southampton College, along with Suffolk County Community College's eastern campus and the Southampton Chamber of Commerce, are sponsoring a month-long Virtual Career Fair for businesses on the East End. Employers will be able to post positions and access resumes during the month of April at the Career Center website at www.southampton.liu.edu/career

"This virtual approach has been developed to save employers recruitment expenses by offering the service through the Southampton College website," said Career Center Director John McCrudden. Students at all campuses of Long Island University and Suffolk Community College's eastern campus will be able to access company job listings and contact company recruiters directly."

The Virtual Career Month will also host a Career Panel on Thursday, April 19th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Chancellors Hall at Southampton College. Guest speakers will include Mr. Edward Sliwinski, Vice President for Society for Human Resource Management on Long Island and Gay Huth, from the New York State Department of Labor. The speakers will address issues in job hunting and the Suffolk County job market. The Career Panel is open to both college students and community members.
