Career Fair a Success at CSC
Employers and job seekers flocked to Carl Sandburg College Wednesday for the 20th annual College Career Success Fair.

Jan Hipple, Coordinator of Employment Resources at CSC tells WGIL this year had high attendance as in past years.

"We have about 46 or 47 employers participating and usually have about 200 t0 250 people walk through."

Hipple adds that the job fair isn't just for students, especially in today's economy.

"We have students that are looking for part time work while they're going to school, we have students and alumni who will be graduating or have graduated that are looking for that first opportunity, and then because unemployment is so hight right now, it's 9 percent in Knox County, we have a good share of the general public coming through."

In addition to the job fair Wednesday, Hipple is also hosting resume building workshops for those seeking jobs or wanting to punch up their resumes.

Those are April 13th and 19th from 5:30 to 7:00 and April 27th from 4 to 5:30 in Building C, room 102.
