Though these events are virtual, business professional attire is highly encouraged and a minimum of business casual attire is required. Employers formulate opinions about our USA student and alumni body based upon professional appearance and demeanor. Your professional presentation reflects positively on you and the university!
- Schedule a 1:1 meeting with organizations of interest, or join a group session to learn more about the organization. Please note, Career Fair registration is required prior to the group session start time.
- Remember to update your resume. Visit Resume Writing for helpful information on resume writing to assist you in making the best first impression and beyond.
- Consider scheduling an appointment with a Career Services advisor for a resume review before the career fair.
