  • Timing: Students are actively looking for jobs and internships around the time of the semester breaks. The best time to post your position is July & August, October & November and March & April.
  • Job Description: The more engaging and descriptive you can make your job description, the more applicants you will receive.
  • Pay: With the current labor market, most entry level jobs are starting around $9.00 – $11.00 per hour.

Before the Fair

  • You want to ensure your display demonstrates to observers what you do, and what you are looking for.
  • Certainly use handouts to initiate conversations with students, but do not allow that to be your only presentation.
  • There are no copy services available. Please bring all necessary materials with you.
  • Request interview rooms and information sessions at least two weeks in advance.

Interacting with Students

  • Students prefer to hear an overall view of what you have to offer.
  • Stand at your exhibit if you are able.
  • Don’t wait for students to approach you, be assertive, while friendly and sincere.
  • You will have higher student traffic if you make your booth as interactive and informational as possible. Students do not want to hear, “Go to our website.”
  • We encourage you to collect resumes and conduct interviews.

After the Fair

  • Respond to all inquiries personally as soon as you can.
  • Consider connecting with students by participating in other Career Services programs and events throughout the year.
