Who’s Coming to Expo? With over 100 organizations, the Expo list can be overwhelming to navigate. Here are some tips:
Tip 1
To make it more manageable start by searching the list by “Day” and then “Type of Position” (full-time or internship).
Tip 2
Don’t miss out on great opportunities! Check out the sample job description(s). The organization description tells you what they do; the job description tells you what they’re looking for: the connection is not always obvious.
Tip 3
Take notes and mark your favorites on the Career Fair Plus app for easy access at Expo.
Tip 4
Connect the job description to your own story: your experiences, interests, skills (the things you’re good at). This will give you specific examples to use when speaking with Expo recruiters.
Tip 5
Use the filters to review the list by location, degree level and more. Questions? Visit the Career Center website (careercenter.umich.edu). See you there!
