With the right preparation, you can turn those nerves into confidence and make a lasting impression. Look at the checklist shown below that addresses tips you as a student can do before, during, and after attending!

Before

  • Ensure your resume is up-to-date and highlights your key skills and experiences. Tailor it to the types of positions you're seeking. A Resume is your first impression, so make it count. If you need help, visit the Student Success Center's Resume Resources, and/or make an appointment with Traci Beighle or Dawson Gremmels.

  • Make a list of the employers or industries you’re most interested in meeting. Prioritize them based on your career goals. Knowing who you want to talk to helps you make the most of your time at the fair. Make an appointment with Traci Beighle and Dawson Gremmels and visit them in the Gianchetta Student Success Center to discuss the employers visiting before the event.

  • Visit The Student Success Center's Career Fair Events Page to find the next Career Fair Event. Mark the date on your calendar and get ready to make connections. Being aware of the event details helps you plan your preparation.

  • Print multiple copies of your resume to hand out. Practice a concise and compelling introduction about yourself. Being prepared with these essentials boosts your confidence.

  • Choose professional attire that makes you feel confident and polished. Your appearance should reflect your seriousness about the opportunity. First impressions are important, so dress accordingly. Visit our Griz Closet in the Gianchetta Student Success Center if you need some professional clothes.

During

"I would strongly push all of the students in the College of Business or the students considering it to take advantage of every opportunity the University provides. There are so many great networking events that the university hosts. Attend as many as you can because employers love to hire UM grads. The more people you meet the more prepared you will be leaving school!"

“The GSCC played a very important role in my professional development through my time at UM and the path of my career post-graduation as I start at Deloitte. From being a resource to help update my resume, prepare for interviews with Big 4 firms, reserve rooms for interviews, talk through potential opportunities, or find new opportunities that meet my interests, the GSCC has helped me through it all and more. These relationships are ones I will keep with me throughout my life and career, and it truly shows the incredible individuals that are there to support every College of Business student."
