CAREER FAIR PROVES WORTHWHILE Over 400 students participated in the annual Career Fair on Febru- ary 4tJi. About 400 wore name tags, and we estimated an additional ten percent who participated without tags, stated Helen Jacober, ca- reer counselor. This figure is about double that from past years, she added. The color-coded system of matching skills and interests with career areas based on a quip and questionnaire filled out by the students was derived from Dr. John Holland ' s system of identifying six major ca- reer environments with personality types. This code is now used as the organizing principle of the Strong-Cambell Interest Inventory, ac- cording to Ms. Jacober. Student evaluations of the fair reported a positive response to the increased variety of careers represented this year in comparison to past years. Likewise, employer evaluations reported pleasure with the system of matching student skills and interests with specific employ- ers as a way of establishing more effective dialogue between students and employers. Most employers had not experienced the skill and interest matching format before, summarized Ms. Jacober. 24
