The 2025 Accounting Fair gives employers the opportunity to recruit students, recent graduates, or alumni who have an interest in accounting, the accounting industry, or finance for internship, cooperative education, or full-time professional positions.
A job fair is an opportunity for you to present yourself professionally in person to a potential employer, while showcasing your communication skills. The keys to a successful job fair experience are preparation and follow-up. Here is a checklist to help you get prepared:
Research the list of participating employers through Handshake
Have your resume reviewed by the Center for Career and Leadership Development
Prepare your 30 second introduction
Make sure you have professional attire, a padfolio, and copies of your resume
Don't forget to ask for business cards at the job fair so you can follow up with thank you notes via email or through LinkedIn
