VIRGINIA TECH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES 21ST ANNUAL NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION JOB FAIR – TUESDAY, MARCH 6TH 2012 FROM 2:00PM TO 6:00PM
FALLS CHURCH, VA

The National Capital Region’s Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association is hosting their 21st Annual Job Fair on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 from 2:00pm to 6:00pm.  More than 80 businesses from the DC Metro Area will be in attendance looking to fill numerous positions within their companies.  The opportunities range from internships and entry-level jobs to more senior level positions as well.  The job fair is conveniently located in Falls Church VA adjacent to the West Falls Church Metro station and because of limited parking it is suggested that participants use the Metro for transportation (orange line).  The Job Fair is not just for VA tech alumni but is open to the public and is free for any applicants.

To attend interested participants must log on to www.dchokies.org and register online for an available entrance time and also to submit their resume.  It is highly recommended that you submit your resume online in order to reach all hiring companies.  Some companies will be viewing these resumes before and after the event and companies that were unable to staff the event have registered to view resumes online.

VA Tech Alumni expects a record turnout this year and had more than 1,500 candidates last year.  There are a limited number of spots for companies interested in hosting a table onsite at the job fair but also an unlimited number of spots available for companies interested in viewing all of the resumes from the event.  To register your company and participate in the job fair, visit www.dchokies.org.

A list of attending companies can also be found on the National Captial Region Virginia Tech Alumni website, www.dchokies.org.  The list is long and includes both large and small companies from the area.  A select few include, Deloitte, AT&T, Hazen and Sawyer, PC, Liberty Mutual, Freddie Mac, Cvent, Inc., Rackspace Hosting, but this is just a sampling of companies that will be in attendance and have openings to fill.

The National Capital Region Virginia Tech Alumni Association is a nonprofit organization that supports local Virginia Tech Alumni with events and fundraising throughout the year.  Any monies raised at these events goes to support the NCR Alumni Association’s scholarship fund.  Over the past 10 years, through the hard work of local Virginia Tech Alumni, they have raised more than $250,000 in scholarship money for Virginia Tech students.  For more information visit www.dchokies.org or contact Elysa Leonard, 571-426-5145, email: elysa@splashmarcom.com.
