2025 Winter Career & Internship Fair
Tuesday, January 28th, 2025 | 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Multipurpose Room, College 9/JRLC

Undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni interested in pursuing careers in business, arts, social sciences & humanities industries are welcome to attend. Get the chance to meet recruiters from many industries/firms seeking to fill internship, full-time, and part-time roles. Come take essential steps toward laying the foundation for your future career and potentially even land an interview!

Curious about how to best prepare for the fair?

1. Research the organization

Identify the top 3-5 companies you are interested in, but remember to be open to different companies you may not have heard of because they may be a startup or business-to-business organization that doesn't directly serve consumers.

Do your research by reviewing company websites. Look for their mission, values, location, and the type of available opportunities (e.g., internships, full-time positions, etc.). Company representatives are impressed by potential candidates who take the time to do this!

2. Prepare your introduction and questions

Reflect on what it is about each company that resonates with you. Perhaps it's the specific technology they're developing, the research they're leading, or the world problem they're trying to solve. What relevant experiences do you have? How can you be of service to that organization? Exercise critical thinking skills to develop questions to ask recruiters and hiring managers.

3. Dress with confidence

Each industry and each company has different work attire expectations and organizational culture. Do your research, ask mentors in advance for advice, and dress to impress!
