The Gosling Career Fair 2020 has a few purposes for the day.
Junior Students: During the Junior Class student visitations from 7:45am - 9:45am, vendors are marketing future opportunities for post-HS graduation. This time frame is a "focus" on career exploration for our Juniors.
Senior Students: During the Senior Class student visitations from 9:50am - 12:15pm, vendors may look for hiring or registering Senior students. This time frame can be a "focus" on hiring our Seniors OR exploration - depending on what the students are individually looking for.

If troubles opening registration packet - use Chrome...The following spreadsheet is a LIVE google sheet - as we enter booths in for registrations - you will see their placements and our booth availability...
Here are some questions we have received with answers... If you still have questions - reach out to us and ask :)
Q: Can I hire Juniors in the morning? Agenda says I can hire seniors...
A: Yes... We put on agenda you can hire seniors because they graduate in 2 months - BUT we understand some industries are able to hire Juniors for jobs and we are not discouraging that. Just know our focus is getting these students thinking about "What is after graduation"...
Q: How will the booths be identified?
A: We are NOT renting "Pipe and Drape" to save on costs (hence booth price as low as $40...). We are looking at some DIY small poles for corners to assist in separating booth spaces so each booth is around 12ft x 12ft (or 24x12 or 8x8), but no draping. SO something big to be aware of - you will not have the tall drape wall behind your booth to hang a sign or banner... I know sometimes vendors count on that for advertising. We are looking at putting a standard size paper on each table with a stand identifying company, career sectors and "hiring" if so. We hope to have this template available online here in March.
Q: How do we access the internet at the Career Fair?
A: Watertown High School has a guest WiFi around the entire building. You will just select that WiFi with your electronic device(s) when you arrive and it should be free access.
