The new Public Service Career Fair is a great way to network face-to-face with employers from government, healthcare, law enforcement, non-profit and other public service fields. These employers are interested in hiring USF students and graduates for full-time, Co-op and internship positions.

Career Fairs are free of charge to USF students and alumni. 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.

The Public Service Career Fair, co-sponsored with the Center for Civic Engagement & Involvement is open to all USF students and USF Alumni and is held in spring semester in the Marshall Center Ballroom (MC 294).

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 of interest to you, who will be attending.
2. Update your resume.
3. Attend Career Fair Tips workshop.
4. Prepare and rehearse a 1-minute script about yourself.
5. Anticipate and practice answering possible questions.
6. Put together a business-professional outfit for the Fair.
