Career & Job
Fairs
Employers
looking for interns often come to our
career fairs. Even if an employer has
not come to recruit interns, the fair
can be an opportunity to talk to a representative,
learn more about an organization, and
ask for a contact. Besides the University
Career Center, some colleges and departments,
such as Criminal Justice, Health and
Human Performance, Geography, and Architecture
have career days or expos. Some of the
attending employers will be recruiting
interns. Dates,
times, and locations.
University
Career Center Resource Room
and Bulletin Boards
The
Center's Career
and Employment Resource Room has books listing
internships and employer brochures in Station 3-Gaining
Experience. Also, flyers announcing internships are
posted
on
the
bulletin
boards in our main hallway.
Career
Assistance
Talk
to one of our counselors or advisors to identify internships.
They can suggest specific programs, critique your resume
and cover letter, sharpen your interview skills, and
identify types of employers who would recruit in your
major or career field. Hours
