The fall semester career fairs offer an important opportunity to network and personally connect with employers. Employer representatives are interested in connecting with students from all academic majors, and they’re eager to share information with students about internships, co-ops and job opportunities. Students from all class years are encouraged to attend.
UK Career Services are providing career fair prep workshops. Students can pre-register or drop in for these workshops. More information is available at: www.uky.edu/careercenter/hireblue-career-fairs.
Reasons to attend UK’s fall career fairs:
- Boss up! Don’t miss this chance to take control of your career path and connect with extraordinary opportunities.
- Network with BBN’s top pros: Many of the recruiters and employer representatives are UK alumni and BBN supporters who want to see more UK students have amazing career opportunities.
- Gain an advantage: Do you know what career possibilities your UK degree will offer? Career fairs are a great way to find out.
- Get in the “ready” position. One of the greatest challenges facing new college graduates is lack of preparation and planning to pursue career opportunities. Career fairs and career services are here to help.
- Avoid opportunity cost: Registration is easy, and participation isn’t a steep time commitment, but missing a rare opportunity like this is potentially very costly.
- Improve your resume: It’s the first thing most companies will see when you inquire about employment. Recruitment professionals will help you build a stronger resume to land interview requests.
- Get your money’s worth: This is a free event, but its value is enormous. Where else can you connect with the most respected companies in your field all in one place?
