Dear students,
Looking for that job or internship? Come to our Spring Internship & Career Fair, where over hundreds of companies are there to see you
The ICC Spring Internship and Career Fair
Thursday, April 30, 2009
10 AM – 2 PM, UC Davis Pavilion
FAQ:
What happens at a Career Fair? What do I even do?
Hundreds of company representatives are promoting their companies and/or recruiting for positions. Some of the representatives are UCD Alum, and they’re tapping within their alumni resource to hire some of the best and brightest. These companies are offering internship and/or full-time job positions. Your part, as the student, is to make a good first impression, prep your resume, and market yourself as best as you can to these companies.
How can I prepare for event?
The ICC will be holding a “Prepare for the Fair” event on 4/21, 4/23, and 4/29 (See the Program of Events for the exact time and location). You can also check out this general guideline for suggested attire, what to ask representatives, how to map out companies, etc
How many companies will be there?
The list of companies constantly changes, but we currently have 100+ companies coming, including Apple, Genentech, the Internal Revenue Service, Johnson&Johnson, etc. Check out the constantly updated list here
Do I have to stay for the whole four hours?
No, of course not; that allotted time is to help you see as few or as many companies as you’d like.
I’m coming from class – won’t it be a little awkward to meet employers with my backpack on?
Yes, I agree that would be awkward. However, we do have a bag-check option just for those scenarios, which do happen often.
Have any more questions? Feel free to comment, and I’ll answer them as best as I can!
Warm regards,
Your LA&B Student Advisor
