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. 

Prepare for the fair by downloading our Virtual Toolkit, which is loaded with helpful tips such as:

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