We want your student to make a great first impression.  Please encourage your student to wear business attire when attending career fairs and to bring at least 10 copies of their resume.  Our Office of Personal and Career Development career counselors review resumes Monday through Thursday from 2 – 4 PM  and Fridays 10 – 12 PM and 1 – 3 PM in our new office in Reynolda Hall room 230.  NOTE:  Due to student demand, they have extended resume review hours to 12 – 6 PM prior to the fair on September 12 and 13.

If your son or daughter has not attended a career fair in the past, the Office of Personal and Career Develop has partnered with human resource professionals at DISH Network to offer a pre-event workshop entitled Making the Most of a Career Fair on September 13 from 3-4pm in Benson 409.  All students should attend this program to be best prepared.
