- Get tips on how to prepare for the fair, how to develop a 30-second pitch about yourself to employers, and sample interview questions using the Career Resource Guide.

- Practice your interview using Interview Stream, our online tool to practice your interview from your own computer, and select questions customized to your position or industry.
Even students who aren’t seeking a job in the spring should still come to the fair. “There is a common myth that career fairs are only for graduating seniors; however, that is false,” said Career Center Career Advisor Megan Turner. “All students should attend the fair, even freshmen and sophomores. It is a great opportunity for students to learn how a career fair works and to learn about the job search process from employers in a more relaxed environment.”
