Don't miss your chance to meet with employers to discuss career and internship opportunities!
Connect with employers representing a variety
of corporate, non-profit and government organizations at the Spring
Career & Internship Fair.
140+ organizations will be in one place recruiting UMBC talent. Open to all UMBC students and alumni!
How can you be successful at the fair?
- First
impressions are important. We strongly encourage all participants to
dress in professional, business casual attire and to bring several
printed copies of your most up-to-date resume (around 10-15 copies) to share with employers and internship providers during the fair.
- Make sure your resume shines, check out our resume writing page.
Then get your resume critiqued by attending our drop-in hours (M-W, 2-4
p.m.), virtual express appointments (Th-F, 2-4 p.m.), Resume Rescue
day (Feb. 15) or scheduling an appointment with the Career Center.
- Research the employers attending the event in advance and prepare intelligent questions. Check out our Career Fair Directory to learn which employers are attending and what they are recruiting for.
- Practice your 30-second commercial aka your "pitch". Be sure to check out our micro session: Perfect Your Pitch (30-Second Commercial).
Student/alumni job-seeker registration is NOT required.
Details and a list of registered employers can also be found on Handshake.
Be sure to log in to also see the positions for which they plan to
recruit at the event. Employers will be adding positions as the fair approaches, so
check back often!
