Job seekers encouraged to attend
Purdue Employment Expo
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue University -- the largest employer in Tippecanoe County
-- is targeting potential employees from the Greater Lafayette area in an effort to
fill more than 100 jobs available on the West Lafayette campus.
The first-ever Purdue Employment Expo will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May
9, at the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility next to Mackey Arena. Purdue will move
its entire personnel services office on site to give potential employees a "one-stop-shopping" approach to the university's employment process.
Interested job seekers will learn how to respond to various job listings, find out
more about Purdue's benefits package, and, where appropriate, undergo on-site clerical
testing and screening interviews. "We understand that our employment process can
be confusing. Because of that, we have streamlined the application process for the Expo
to attract quality applicants to Purdue's wide selection of available positions,"
said Dana Werner, recruitment specialist. "We hope the Expo brings in many residents
from Tippecanoe and the surrounding counties."
The Purdue Employment Expo is the first universitywide job fair encompassing every
job except faculty and teaching positions. Hiring supervisors from various departments
will answer questions one-on-one regarding the following types of jobs: entry-level
service/unskilled positions, clerical positions, skilled trades, computer occupations,
business administration positions and laboratory technicians.
Attendees may dress casually and bring their families for entertainment and refreshments;
however, child care will not be provided.

about the event.
