A job fair is an event where you can meet employers, explore different careers, and learn about job or internship opportunities, all in one place. It’s a chance to ask questions, make connections, and get a better sense of what different careers are really like.

While encouraged to stay as long as you can, you do not have to stay the whole time.

Our event features two key components: the AI Workforce Trends panel and the Job Fair. As AI continues to shape hiring practices and workplace expectations, the panel offers a great opportunity to learn how to prepare and stay competitive.

Whether you’re just getting started or already working, the Job Fair is a great way to explore:

  • Part-time jobs
  • Seasonal jobs
  • Full-time jobs
  • Internships
  • Professional connections
  • Career paths related to your major

Fun fact: Nearly half of students who attend a Career Fair receive an invitation to interview! (NACE, 2024)

We're so excited you'll be attending! If you haven't already:

  • Register for the event (not required to attend, but strongly encouraged)
  • Review the 'How to Prepare for Job Fairs' strategies above

That is very common! Many people feel nervous when networking.

It is absolutely okay to bring notes. In fact, coming prepared with notes or questions shows interest and professionalism. Just try to keep the conversation natural rather than reading directly from your notes.

One helpful strategy is to research companies ahead of time and prepare a few questions. For example:

  • What is your hiring process like for college students?

  • What skills do you look for most in candidates?

  • How long have you been with the company, and what do you enjoy most about it?

When you arrive, you will be welcomed by Career Services staff and asked to check in at the registration table. You will also receive materials to help you navigate the event.

The Career Services team is here to support you, so if you have any questions or need help at any point, just ask.

Great job! To stay top of mind with employers and to thank them for their time, it is recommended to follow up with them after the event. An example email is featured below. 

Looking for other ways to stay connected with employers?

  • Connect with them on LinkedIn
  • If you committed to an action item (for example, submitting an internship application), follow up to let them know you completed it
  • Reach out to Career Services at [email protected] for more tips
