Oregon State University Career Fairs
NOTE: Fall Career Fairs
registration will be available in July 2008.
The Oregon State University Career Fairs are events sponsored by Career
Services each Fall, Winter, and Spring term, held in the CH2M Hill
Alumni Center across from Reser Stadium. The Career Fairs are designed
to support students in their career development
and pursuit
of career aspirations. The career fairs provide students with a unique
opportunity to talk to recruiters from organizations around the world
that have experience in relevant fields of study. For students, attending
the Career Fair provides an opportunity to explore career opportunities,
obtain employer information, and locate summer jobs, internships,
and full-time positions. Employers have the opportunity to promote
their organization, to connect with promising candidates for job
and internship openings and to network with university staff and
faculty as well as other related employers.

Why Attend an Oregon State University Career Fair?
Oregon State University Career Fairs are a GREAT way to connect with
some of the best and brightest students around. Oregon State is the
only Oregon university to hold the Carnegie Foundation’s prestigious
designation reservered for universities with “very high research
activity.” OSU is also Oregon’s only land, sea, sun, and
space grant university, which means there are mutliple top-notch students
from a variety of disciplines. Additionally, OSU programs in Engineering,
Environmental Sciences, Forestry, Pharmacy, and a variety of other
areas are nationally recognized for high quality, and all OSU undergraduates
particpate in the core curriculum emphasizing creative thinking, writing,
world cultures, the arts, sicences, diversity, literature, and global
awareness, preapring them to become successful professionals in the
globlal markeptlace. If you’re looking to meet these students,
attending an OSU Career Fair is the way to do so; the National Association
of Colleges and Employers (NACE) recently stated:
“Look at any strong employer college relations and recruiting program,
and chances are pretty good that career fair attendance will be a component.
For more than 10 years, employers responding to NACE's Job Outlook surveys have
rated career fairs among the top five most effective methods for recruiting new
college graduates. Employers also give high ratings to career fairs as a tool
for recruiting intern and co-op students, and as the top method for developing
their brand/image on campus.”(From:
http://www.naceweb.org/pubs/spotlightonline/2007/c062207.htm)
Still wondering if an OSU Career Fair is right for you? Listen to what some
other employers said at recent career fairs, and then decide for yourself:
“ It is our most valuable recruitment tool at OSU. The fair
is always well-organized, well planned, and staff at Career Services are very
helpful and approachable.”
“The Career Fair is extremely well organized; a great number
of students are coming because of the large number and diversity of
employers represented.”
“Great traffic, great lunch, and thanks for drawing
our business card for the door prize!”
“The event was well-organized and the OSU staff was
very helpful and professional. We received many qualified candidates,
and hired
several as a result”
About Students at the Career Fair
We are excited you are recruiting at Oregon State University. More
and more students are coming to each career fair, and many of these
are exploring students, or students who may not currently be looking
for a job or internship, but who are attending primarily to ask questions
of employers and find out about career paths, companies, and the world
of work. If you encounter students such as this at the Career Fair,
we encourage you to please spend some time answering their questions.
Talking with these students leaves a great impression on them, and
is an opportunity for you to promote your organization to possible
future interns/employees!
