Osborne Participates in Bob Jones U. Job Fair

Recently, Osborne Wood Products was able to participate in a job fair held at Bob Jones University.  Leon Osborne and JR, his executive assistant, traveled to Greenville to attend this event.

For those unfamiliar with the school, Bob Jones University is a Christian university, and has a high reputation with area businesses.  Other notable facts about the school include that the Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery is said to hold one of America’s finest collections of Italian paintings.

Twenty to Thirty businesses were present at the job fair, with around 500 students having walked through in all.  The event was set up in a large conference hall with the business each represented at their exhibit tables.  The atmosphere was business professional, in keeping with the school’s dress code.  Booklets were  made so the students were aware of all of the job opportunities, with attention being given to jobs specifically geared toward graduates.  The participating businesses were also each given the opportunity to post job listings on a free web site the school posted for the students to browse.

From the job-oriented school tours we have done to college and university events such as this, we are always excited about opportunities to be a part of that process in the life of a student; helping to equip them for the transition that begins at graduation.
