Are you looking for an internship or job and are starting to
freak out a little since summer is right around the corner? Have no fear....the
Just In Time Fair is here! Okay that was cheesy, but seriously if you are in
need of an internship or job come to the JIT Fair this Thursday. The fair is in
the UMC from 9:00am-3:00pm and ALL
employers attending are hiring.
Here are 5 things to do show up prepared for this fair:
1. Look
at the list of employers attending before hand and decide which companies you
want to speak with. Click here to see who will be attending the fair and
their job categories.
2. Research the companies attending and show up with well thought out questions for the
recruiters. It will show that you are serious about working for their company
and have done your homework.
3. Step
up your professional wardrobe. We have received feedback from employers that
students dress too casual at career fairs. Always err on the side of
overdressing than underdressing. You’ll make a much better impression this way.
4. Make
sure your resume is up to date. Bring copies with you and be able to discuss
your previous work experience in detail. Career Services has drop-ins this week
from 1:30-4:00pm where you can get a quick 15-minute review of your resume. Come
by our office in C4C, N352.
5. Be
open to exploring all your options. There are many opportunities in industries
that you might not have considered, so be open-minded.
Being prepared for the Just In Time Fair will set you apart from
competitors. If you really want a job or internship then show up with
confidence ready to make a good impression! Let us know how the career fair
went for you by tweeting @CUCareerServ or posting on our CU Career Services
Facebook wall. Best of luck in your job and internship search!
