Employers from various fields come to campus several times each
year offering advice about careers in their organizations and
seeking to meet qualified candidates to fill salaried internships,
part time and full time positions. View our Event
Schedules for the date of our next Fair.
Tips to Help You Make the Most of
the Career / Internship Fair:
Have A Plan
- Find out what companies are attending by visiting University
Career Services a few days before the fair
- Determine what companies you are most interested in and view
their websites
- On the day of the fair, 'walk' the fair and determine where
employers are located
Go Early
- Be there when recruiters are fresh, alert and attentive
- Arrive before the majority of other students get there
Have a Prepared Pitch
- Prepare a clear, specific description of yourself, your area of
study, experience and what you want to do
Get A Card
- Get a card from everyone you speak to
- Write interesting facts, notes or additional contact names on
the back of the card
- Use this information to do follow up with the recruiter
Dress Appropriately
- Men - wear a suit or nice pants
- Women - wear a suit or a dress shirt / sweater (No jeans,
sweatpants, caps, t-shirts, sneakers)
Be Open Minded
- Consider companies you are not familiar with and that aren't
crowded with potential candidates
- They sometimes offer better opportunities
Follow Up
- Follow up with recruiters immediately after the fair (within a
day or two)
- Send an email or written letter
- Remember, 'the harder you work, the luckier you get'
