Mike Corpos, Daily Staff Writer
According to Jan Hagemann, a lecturer in the administration of justice department at San Jose State University, the fair is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today under MacQuarrie Hall, next to Jazzland Coffee.
Kristin Appleton, a junior administration of justice major, is looking forward to the career fair.
"We can meet with possible future employers. It's an excellent idea to get students out to meet with (perspective) employers and get our names out there," Appleton said.
Among the perspective employers expected at the fair are the FBI, a number of local police departments, the Santa Clara County Department of Corrections and the State Parole Department.
In all, Hagemann said the department is expecting as many as 50 perspective employers to be at the fair.
This is the second annual Administration of Justice Career Fair and Hageman said the focus has expanded.
"The Federal Bureau of Prisons was at the career fair held by the university last month. They were looking for not only A.J. majors but political science and English majors as well," Hagemann said. "We will also have advisers on hand for any students interested in changing their majors or who are just interested in classes."
According to Hagemann, the perspective employers will not only be recruiting graduating students but they will be looking for interns as well.
The fair is presented by the administration of justice department and was planned by Hagemann and department coordinator Shannon Thomas.
"We've been planning this for two months now, sending letters and calling people. It's a lot of work," Hagemann said.
Prizes donated by Spartan Bookstore will be raffled off at the career fair.
