“This is a great opportunity to speak directly to recruiters and ask questions about companies and specific jobs,” Diane Pritchard, COCC’s director of careers, advising and personal counseling said in a statement. “While you may not leave JobFest with an offer in hand, you’ll leave with a better understanding of where you want to apply for positions and who to get in touch with to follow up.”
