This statement was madeconcerning the "Focus on Jobs 1985"Recruitment Fair which will be hostedby Mercyhurst College Nov. 14 an d 15.According to Moore, the basic intentof the Recru i tment Fai r is " toshowcase graduates from the five areacol leges to employers." Representatives from approximately 30 companies and organizations will be hereon campus conducting informations e s s i on s t od a y a n d i n t e r v i e w stomorrow.The Recruitment Fair is being sponsored by the Erie County CollegeCareer Cooperative which consists offive area col leges: Mercyhurst, Edin-boro, Ganno n, Penn State-Ben rend andVilla Maria. %The company information sessions"allow a student to meet with a par-jticular company even though they maynot receive an individual appointmentthe following day. It is, by design, an

effort to allow students to meet morecompanies than they would on a personal basis/ ' explained Moore.Moore devised a master schedule forthe Interviewing sessions. Each corn-

"This is an Impressiveamount considering the fact that manyseniors already have Jobs or other commitments upon graduation. Quite a fewStudents will receive job offers fromthese comp anies," he added.Some 'o f the compan ies andorganizations attending are: AmericanSterilizer, Bel-Aire Hotel, First NationalBank of Pennsylvania, HammermillPaper Co. and many oth ers. * jjOne senior commented oh theRecruitments Fair, "By being interv iewed, I hope to let them know that Iam Interested in their company as^apossible employer.
