All Carleton students and grads are encouraged to attend the Winter Career & Networking Fair!
Whether you’re in your first year, graduating or alumni, the Career & Networking Fair is your chance to practice networking, learn about more than 40 employers and explore opportunities.
Why attend?
- Practice builds confidence: Networking is a skill, and like any skill, it takes practice. The Career & Networking Fair is a professional yet approachable environment to start conversations, ask questions and build confidence.
- Explore opportunities: Learn about full-time, part-time, co-op, summer and future roles. Even if you’re not job hunting now or an employer you’re interested in isn’t hiring at the moment, understanding what’s out there helps you plan ahead.
- Gain insight: Discover what different organizations do, what they value in candidates and how you might fit in now or in the future. By chatting with a range of employers, you can also identify valuable hiring trends.
- Grow your network: Make connections that could lead to mentorship, advice or future opportunities. Every conversation is a step forward.
- Convenient: Meet a wide range of employers that you may not normally have a chance to speak with, all without leaving campus. Drop in between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. as it fits your schedule (last check-in time is 2:45 p.m.).
Many employers will encourage students to apply to employment opportunities through the mySuccess job board or their organizations’ job portals. At the Career & Networking Fair, you can drop by the Resume Review Station for a short on-the-spot resume check-up to make sure you are submitting a strong application. Please have a paper or digital copy on hand for the review.
In advance of the Career & Networking Fair, students are encouraged to attend the Prepare for the Fair events to increase their confidence and success at the fair.
