So on Oct. 17, dark rain clouds over and around the Grossmont College campus became an added teaching point to Career Expo 2005.

By mid-morning the entire campus was drenched by tropical rain accompanied by occasional claps of thunder.

The orchestra in the sky could not put a damper to the carefully planned transfer day
events. Nancy Davis, Career Center coordinator, was busy making sure that all went according to plans—and they did.

The rainfall could not stop the 104 employers that were expected to participate. A variety of employers participated at the event. Students could find just about any type of employer: the U.S. Government, other government departments, the San Diego Police Department, retail stores, the military, banks, medical care providers and local organizations.

Keynote speaker Michael de Marco, member of the Paralympics games, gave his presentation on Oct 18.

On Oct. 19 and 20, Nancy Davis of the sponsoring Career Center, offered several workshops. Notable among these was the workshop titled, “Finding Success After 40.” Also, copies of the Career Chronicle were on display.

The week long Career Expo rained a rainbow of job opportunities for the students in search of their dream career.
