The USF Career Fair is 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, this fair is a very efficient use of your job search time! Co-sponsored with the USF Alumni Association, the Career Fair is exclusively for USF students and alumni with valid USF ID.
