NJIT To Host Largest-Ever Spring Career Fair

More than 150 employers will attend the NJIT Spring Career, Co-op and Internship Fair -- the largest ever at NJIT.  Employers will hire May graduates but also hire underclassmen for summer internships.  These internships often lead to full-time jobs.  Journalists are welcome to attend the fair and interview recruiters and students.   For more information, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxfY206BPRo
