鈥淭he Career Fair is always a great opportunity to connect with organizations and see what their needs are,鈥� said Molly Bandimere, Career Services event manager. 鈥淭his year we鈥檝e modified our event to provide more opportunities for students to get face time with employers.听We鈥檝e expanded into three rooms within the UMC and extended the time to 4 p.m. each day. We love to see our student鈥檚 succeed and this is a great opportunity to do so.鈥�
The first day of the Career Fair welcomes students who are seeking opportunities with a technology focus. This includes industries and organizations in aerospace, computer sciences, engineering, information systems/technology, research and more.
Wednesday鈥檚 All Campus Day features companies and organizations with a non-technical focus including accounting, banking, consulting, government, human resources, management, retail, sales and others.
鈥淭he Fall Career Fair draws in many companies and their recruiters who听are CU Boulder alumni,鈥� said Ann Herrmann, associate director of the counseling team. 鈥淭his provides a great opportunity for students to connect and learn about possible openings 鈥� both internship and full-time positions, for all majors.鈥�
This year, LinkedIn will be taking professional headshots, offering profile critiques and a workshop session at 3 p.m. each day for those attending the Fall Career Fair.
鈥淲e encourage students to start their searches now as many companies are recruiting for December and May graduates as well as summer 2017 interns,鈥� said Herrmann. 鈥淕etting a head start in your search is always a great idea.鈥�
Companies like Amazon, Google, Twitter, Lockheed Martin, Zillow and Goldman Sachs will be in attendance for the two-day event.听
