De Anza’s Career Center saved students a job-searching trip to the mall at its semi-annual job fair held at the Sunken Gardens on Wednesday, May 16.

In the grassy area, rows of tables swerved around the fountain and rose bushes, while representatives from companies and businesses in Cupertino greeted students.

Sixty-three employers, offering jobs from a vast number of professions, came out with handfuls of human resource flyers, applications and marketing materials. Both part-time and full-time jobs were offered at competitive compensation. Some employers did on-the-spot interviews.

Jobs ranging from retail, fast food service, administrative and personal aid were at the event. The United States military was also present at the fair.

The Career Center gives out surveys to each company asking if they are considering hiring any students.

They also offer job searching aid to students throughout the school year.

On the second floor of the Student Community Services Build- ing, students are able to obtain a long list of available jobs and advice on career exploration, interviewing and resume writing.
