Illinois State University coordinates a 5-day motor coach shuttle, which offers a cost-effective way to travel to all of the participating event sites and also to network with fellow professionals. The shuttle pick-up is at the Doubletree Hotel in Rosemont on Monday morning and will return back to Chicago on Friday. During the week, door-to-door service between each lodging and fair site is provided. To ride the bus, choose the 5-day motor coach shuttle transportation option when completing the online registration. Space on the bus and rooms at the Doubletree Hotel in Rosemont are limited, so register soon for the event and don't forget to select the motor coach shuttle option.
Our fair is part of the Mid-America Educators' Job Fairs held at a different university each day of this week across Illinois. At this year’s ISU Fair, we expect public school districts, charter & private schools, plus some related education agencies to participate. This event is open to all education and related majors, alumni, and students from other universities. Bring plenty of resumes and dress professionally for this Fair -- first impressions do count! Current students should bring their ID cards to help speed registration at the door.
Note: On Thursday, February 4 we will conduct a workshop for any/all candidates planning to attend our Mid-America Educators’ Job Fair (or any other similar fair this semester*). It will be held in 206 DeGarmo Hall from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and will feature two experienced recruiters (from Unit 5 District and Plainfield 202). They will discuss how to prepare for a fair and how to impress school recruiters, what to wear (and not), plus how job fairs fit into their overall recruitment program. Added bonus: bring your resume and have it critiqued while you are at the workshop. Want an online critique sooner? E-mail it to Patrick Hayes (pbhayes@ilstu.edu).
Juniors are encouraged to attend. Take this opportunity to check out the marketplace and job possibilities in advance of your senior year and to talk directly to school recruiters in districts where you may be applying in the future.
Dates for 2010:
Illinois State students who student teach during the spring semester in the Chicago area may attend the NIU or NEIU fairs on the Monday/Friday of this same week. ISU seniors and alumni may attend any of these fairs, but of course, we hope you will choose ours! It is typically the largest of the five fairs. And here's another reason to consider driving to Normal on teh 2nd, instead of DeKalb on the 1st. For the first time, non-NIU students/alums will not be allowed to enter the NIU fair until 11:00 a.m., two hours after it begins.
* Secondary candidates: be aware that the annual NWPA Fair (held this year at the Rosemont Convention Center) takes place on Saturday, February 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Registration begins at 8:00. 20 High School districts in suburban Chicago are expected to participate.
