Special Note: The Job Fair and On-the-Spot Hiring is open to all members and non-members.

Job Seekers: The 2010 Annual Meeting Registration is not required for participation in the On-the-Spot Hiring and the Job Fair.

Just as rangelands are diverse, so are related careers. Just look at the SRM membership as an example of this diversity! In order to better match job opportunities with job seekers, SRM will again expand employment efforts at the 63rd Annual SRM Meeting and Trade Show in Denver, Colorado. SRM announces the third annual 2010 RANGELAND JOB FAIR scheduled for Sunday February 7th, 10 am-6 pm. This is a free service for all SRM members and Trade Show participants.

The mission of the RANGELAND JOB FAIR is to match prospective employers from the Federal Agencies, State and Provincial Governments, Private Industry, Academia, and Conservation Organizations with the high caliber of educated and enthusiastic prospects from SRM. We are also hoping to recruit potential employers from non-traditional sources such as the military. Attendance at the annual meetings at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel this year is expected to be between 1000-1500 people. Approximately 25 percent of attendees will be students and young professionals.

The job fair will involve a full day on Sunday February 7th, 2010. Employers will be provided space to display employment information, distribute vacancy announcements and interact with job seekers. Registered participants will be provided with one 6-ft table for displays within a large exposition area. For an extra charge, we will also provide 4' X 8' display boards (see registration form). We will encourage all interested meeting attendees to drift through and browse the JOB FAIR between other scheduled activities, meetings and workshops. We do expect that all participants staff their tables/displays and be prepared to answer questions.

If you are interested in this program, or know of prospective employers who may be, please feel free to contact the JOB FAIR Coordinator, Linda Coates-Markle, BLM Liaison to SRM at lcmarkle@rangelands.org and/or 303-986-3309.
