UMBC Students and alumni, don't miss this opportunity to attend UMBC's annual Fall Career & Internship Fair being held at the Retriever Activities Center (RAC)!

Connect with 130+ employers representing a variety of corporate, non-profit and government organizations, ready to recruit UMBC talent for internships and full-time opportunities.

UMBC alumni and students from all majors and academic levels are encouraged to attend. UMBC ID will be requested at the entrance. If you do not have your UMBC ID, a photo ID will be required to verify UMBC affiliation. We encourage alumni, who graduated prior to 2018 and plan on attending the Fair, to sign up for a Handshake account in advance. We look forward to welcoming you to connect with employers and explore career opportunities.

How can you be successful at the fair?

• Complete your Handshake profile ahead of time and consider setting your profile to public.
• First impressions are important, so plan your wardrobe ahead of time and dress professionally.
• Make sure your resume shines, check out our resume writing page. Then get your resume critiqued at our upcoming Resume Rescue events! You can also always stop by our drop-in hours (M-Th, 2-4pm) or schedule an appointment with the Career Center.
• Bring several printed copies of your resume (around 15-20 copies).
• Research the employers attending the event in advance and prepare intelligent questions. See the list under the "Employers" tab on the Fair in Handshake and be sure to check out the Directory (released roughly 1 week prior to the fair - check back here for the link once available).
• Practice your 30-second commercial/pitch. Be sure to check out our micro session: Perfect Your Pitch (30-Second Commercial).
• Download the Handshake app on your phone, so you can check-in at employer booths.

Pssst! Need a breather during the fair? Forgot to bring a snack or a drink? Stop by the Relaxation Space (track level, Room 106) for a reaffirming chat, light refreshments, or for a quiet moment to yourself.

Due to construction closure of the sidewalk between Sherman and Sondheim Halls, those planning to join us toward the opening of the Fair at 11:30 a.m., please line up around the West and South sides of the RAC.
