FARMINGTON While the labor market in San Juan County is far from ideal, Jill Bishop, the director of the San Juan College Center for Student Careers and Employment, has a message for local job seekers who may be letting their frustration get the best of them.
“Even if you’re discouraged, even if you’ve applied for 100 jobs, it’s good to get out there and do some networking,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt, and networking is huge in finding you a job.”
Bishop is the organizer of a sizable networking opportunity set to take place through the college later this month. The virtual Career and Internship Fair takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily from Monday, Feb. 22 through Friday, Feb. 26. The event will feature dozens of companies and organizations, and the event is being held virtually because of the social distancing requirements brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
