Nearly 60 area companies will be onsite for McHenry County College’s (MCC) Job and Internship Fair on Wednesday, April 16. The event, hosted in partnership with the McHenry County Workforce Network, will be held from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Gym (A107) at the College, 8900 US Hwy. 14, Crystal Lake. Employers will be seeking interns, temporary workers, and part- and full-time employees.
“Whether you're just starting your job search or looking to take the next step in your career, this event offers valuable opportunities for everyone,” said Cory Vlahos, Coordinator of Career Services at MCC. “It’s the perfect chance to meet with a wide range of local employers, make meaningful connections, and explore various career paths.”
Interested students, alumni, and community members can register here. A list of participating employers can also be found on the website. The event is free to attend and open to the public. Pre-registration is strongly recommended for easier check-in at the event, but is not required.
Registration is processed through the College’s Hire a Scot job search platform, now powered by Handshake. Pre-registered attendees can view participating employers and their available job offerings in real time prior to the event.
With the Handshake mobile app, job seekers at the fair will be able to scan a QR code at each employer booth to easily connect with hiring managers, share their resume and apply to open positions, and begin to build their professional network, right from the palm of their hand.
Attendees are encouraged to dress professionally and bring copies of their resume to give employers. Those who would like individual assistance developing or updating their resume prior to the fair can contact careers@mchenry.edu or (815) 455-8566 to request an appointment.
Employer registration is still open, but space is limited. Visit the Job Fair webpage to reserve a booth, or post a job anytime for free on the Hire a Scot job board.
Students, alumni, and community members can search MCC’s Hire a Scot job board throughout the year or take advantage of career coaching, practice interviews, or individual appointments to discuss goals and job search strategies through the College’s Office of Career Services.
