First Impressions Recruitment Event
Thursday, November 6, 2014 – 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Valuable Industry Partners (VIPs) are interested in meeting with qualified applicants from Red River College’s business programs for permanent, spring, summer, and term employment opportunities.
To participate in this speed-interview and networking event, you must be a registered student in one of the following programs at Red River College: Business Administration, Business Administration Integrated, Commerce Industry Sales & Marketing, International Business, or Health Information Management.
Please read all of the following information before clicking on any of the links.
Speed-Interviews – 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Employers participating in this recruitment event will post their jobs on Red River College’s Job Central site (jobcentral.rrc.ca) under the category First Impressions Recruitment Event. Students will apply for a speed-interview with an employer by uploading their résumés to the job postings they are interested in. Résumés must be uploaded by October 21, 2014.
Click for more information on how to use the Job Central site to apply for postings.
After October 21, employers will review the résumés and contact the applicants with whom they are interested in having a speed-interview. Employers have a maximum of 12 timeslots to fill for this event. If you are not contacted by an employer, feel free to use the networking event to seek them out and make a great first impression.
By scheduling an interview with an employer, you have promised to show up. If something changes for you, it is your responsibility to let the employer know as soon as possible, so the interview slot is not wasted and your reputation is not tarnished. Please note that interviews will begin promptly at 1 p.m.
Most students would find that 4 to 5 interviews in an afternoon would be the maximum number they can handle. If you receive more requests than this, you may want to suggest meeting up at the networking event that follows the interviews or having the opportunity to meet with the employer at another time.
Networking Event – 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
We strongly encourage all students, whether you have had a speed-interview or not, to attend the Networking Event. The Networking Event is a great way to make connections and practice socializing in the business world. There is no charge for students to participate in this event, but you must register, so we can arrange for enough food. A cash bar will also be available. If you plan to drink, remember to do so responsibly.
Please note that uploading a resume does not automatically register you for the networking event. You must also click the Register Now button below. The deadline for registering for the Networking Event is also October 21, 2014.

The Red River College Library receives plenty of inquiries about the wireless networks on all our Winnipeg campuses. Our goal is to help all our library patrons, though we always have to be clear that we do not control or manage the wireless networks here at RRC. At the Library we are users, just like you!
