Seniors planning to graduate in May are getting ready to enter the job market. It's time to prepare resumes and cover letters, and to follow up on job leads. One way to find a lead or two is by attending the Job and Intern Expo taking place this week at Texas State. Alanna Sarabia has more in this Bobcat Update.

It's the largest career fair of the semester. So large, in fact, that it would only fit in Strahan Coliseum to accommodate all 80 employers. To prepare for the big day, career services provided resume help in the quad this week.
Career advisors put on a two-day "Rock yo Resume" to prepare students for the job expo.
Stand Up: This is where students drop off their resumes to advisors to be critiqued and reviewed.
Sound Bite: " I already knew what I wanted to do as a career but this really helped me fix my resume and format it correctly." (student who just got her resume critiqued)
VO: The Job and Internship EXPO is open to all college students.
Sound Bite: " What we do is help students......with a shaky market....there is still opportunities there and this is one of those opportunities ."
The expo will continue this evening until 6 -o-clock -- and if you miss out, don't worry, there will be another held in the fall semester.
For Bobcat Update I'm Alanna Sarabia.
