What is a Career Fair?
A career fair is an expo that usually includes company or organization tables or booths where resumes can be collected and business cards can be exchanged. Career fairs provide a convenient location for students to meet employers and perform first interviews. Career fairs are good places to meet many company representatives from corporations of all industries and sizes during a short period of time.

Interested in working for a "Green" company?

What students have to say about OSU Career Fairs:

"I wish I would have gone as an undergraduate. I would have had a lot more options when I graduated then. Next year should be my last year of graduate school so I will definitely be going to the job fairs each term. I was getting extra credit for a class this term, but I had a lot of interest in my resume and at least 6 different companies that showed an interest in me. The more options I have when I graduate, the more I can shop around for a company that will be right for me and fit into my future goals." - Grad Student (2011 Fall Career Fair)

"I landed an interview while at the Career Fair and due to the assistance of Career Services, I felt very prepared.  The Career Center staff is top notch and I will always remember the help they have given me." - Joshua Querl

What to do before, during, and after a Career Fair?

Here's a brief video on how to prepare for the Career Fair:

Why attend the Career Fair?

• Get first-hand information about a company/organization from a representative. You're likely to get more valuable and accurate information from an employer than you could ever get from a web site.

• Make a positive and lasting impression with employers. Begin to establish your professional image by distinguishing yourself from other candidates.

• Effectively practice professional communication with recruiters and other future colleagues. 

Are you undecided? 

What are you going to major in?

What do you want to do with your major?

What are your plans for after graduation?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Not sure what you want to do after graduation and tired of being questioned repeatedly by family and friends?
