Career Fair
   

 

Career Networking Fair
Wed., Feb. 3, 2010, 10am-3pm, Sun Dome
NEW LOCATION: Marshall Student Center Ballroom

Prepare for the Fair with Career Fair Tips workshops, online seminar and drop-by resume critiques
See dress code for the Career Fair below

Career  Fairs are a great way to network face-to-face with local and national employers interested in hiring USF students and graduates for full-time, Co-op and internship positions. Because there are so many employers all in one place on the same day, Career Fairs are a very efficient use of your job search time!

Co-sponsored with the USF Alumni Association, Career Fairs are exclusively for USF students and alumni with valid USF ID.

DRESS CODE: Business attire for men and women is required at the Career Fair. See the "3 S's for Success" checklist for business attire. Job seekers in casual attire will not be admitted.

Career Fairs are a great opportunity to:

  • Discuss employment openings with employers
  • Distribute your resume (bring at least 10 -15 copies of laser quality with you)
  • Discuss your qualifications, skills and academic background
  • Obtain company information/business cards of the organizations that interest you
What to do before a Career Fair:

1. Research websites of employers who will be attending.

2. Update your resume.

3. Attend Career Fair Tips workshops.

4. Attend "Prepare-for-the Fair" events.

5. Read "Career Fair Tips " and "How Competitive are you in Today's Economy?" and view " Job Fair Success."

6. Prepare and rehearse a one-minute introduction or "elevator speech."

7. Anticipate and practice answering possible interview questions.

8. Put together your business-professional attire for the Fair.

9. Learn "Career Fair Etiquette."
