Career Fairs
Throughout the year, Career Services sponsors or co-sponsors events that enable our students to engage with potential employers. Training workshops are provided to prepare students for that interaction. On-campus fall and spring career fairs are held for majors in arts and sciences, business administration, and engineering. A fall career fair is held for pharmacy majors. Students are provided with information about virtual career fairs and career fairs throughout the country. Refer to Career Services Events to find out about details of each fair.
On-Campus Recruiting
On-campus recruiting schedules and employer qualifications will be posted with the announcement of upcoming on-campus interviewing opportunities on Symplicity.
If you are interested, register for events on Symplicity.
Student preparation - Prepare by researching the organization in advance of your on-campus interview. You will be expected to become familiar with the organization and prepare questions about the position and the organization.
Informational meetings prior to interviews - Informational meetings may be scheduled in advance of the actual interviews to save valuable interview time. Your attendance at these meetings is strongly recommended and may be required by the employer.
On Interview Day - Dress professionally. Arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled interview time and wait in the designated area. Interviewers will come for you when they are ready to see you. Interview cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled time by notifying the Office of Career Services. Failure to do so will result in the suspension of your on-campus interviewing privileges with the Office of Career Services. Should this happen, you, your dean and your department chair will be notified.
