Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges and UMass Amherst are collaborating to hold the third annual Five College Job Fair on Wednesday, May 29 from 1-4 p.m. The event, which offers job seekers the explore hundreds of jobs available at each school, will be held this year at the Smith College Indoor Track & Tennis Complex.

The fair will feature high-priority openings in a wide variety of departments and attendees will be able to talk with campus representatives and explore job opportunities. Refreshments will be available and gift bags of campus souvenirs will be raffled off to attendees.

“Our first two job fairs attracted hundreds of job seekers from our communities, so we’re excited to offer it again this year,” said Kim Kenney-Rockwal, director of talent acquisition at Smith. “Something for people to keep in mind is that residential colleges are self-contained communities, with the same range of jobs found in most towns and cities. There may be openings for electricians, landscapers, hospitality staff, security personnel and nurses, as well as professors and provosts. So if you’re looking for a job in a certain field, there’s a good chance we’ll have that job on one of our campuses.”

The campus departments with the most openings include:

• Administration
• Campus Safety (security officers)
• Dining Services (cooks, kitchen assistant, cashiers)
• Facilities/Custodial Services
• Financial Services
• IT technicians
