The First Year, First-Time Friendly Table helps students learn more about the career fairs. Students can take a self-guided tour through the fair and get a look at what to expect so you will be more prepared to attend the fair in the future.
Professional attire is not required unless you want to speak to employers. Check out the recruiters attending the fairs on Handshake because there are opportunities for first year students!
Career Fair Tours
The Career Fair Tour is a way for students who are attending for the first time to further engage with the Career and Internship Fair. Students will receive a stamp for each "stop" on the tour:
- First Time Friendly Table
- Info Table
- Elevator Pitch Table
- Self-Guided Tour/Check-Out Table.
The tour shows students the different resources available to them at the Career Fair and allows them time to learn about the structure of the event.
