The largest fair of the fall is in a couple of weeks! Due to the economy, the hiring outlook nationwide is still challenging. Take advantage of an opportunity to meet potential employers who are still hiring for full-time, part-time, and internship positions before it's too late! No pre-registration is required; however, we do ask that you bring your student ID and dress to impress (interview style)!  

 

NEW THIS YEAR:

·         Comcast Center: The new venue allows for a larger space and more employers (24% more).

·         Shuttle UM Service: Three routes will be available with buses running every 15 -20 minutes.

·         Coat/Bag Check: Before you check-in, stop by the coat/bag room and receive a pick-up ticket for your items.

 

WHAT KINDS OF EMPLOYERS ARE COMING?
