Whether you're on the lookout for a full-time job, part-time employment, an internship, networking practice or volunteer opportunities, our career fair has something for everyone.
This is your chance to make a lasting impression on potential employers, introducing yourself in a professional manner and gaining insights into their hiring processes. Success at the job fair hinges on thorough preparation and effective follow-up.

- Research the list of participating employers and identify those you want to connect with.
- Craft a compelling introduction, also known as an "elevator pitch."
- Dress in business professional attire, bring a padfolio, and carry multiple copies of your resume.
- Collect business cards at the fair for follow-up thank-you notes or to connect on LinkedIn.
