Fall Career Days is this week, September 13-15, 2016!
Fall Career Days is a week of career fairs combined with some on-campus interviewing, information sessions, and workshops held by employers who are recruiting students on campus.
The majority of the employers at Fall Career Days represent corporate America. If you are interested in working for a large corporation, the fair may be a fit for you. Nonprofit and government agencies typically do not attend the Fall Career Days fairs, although there are some exceptions.
For the majority of Liberal Arts students, the relevant fair days are as follows:
- Non-Technical Full-Time Career Fair: Tuesday, September 13, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Internship and Co-op Career Fair: Wednesday, September 14, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Make sure to research the employers attending and make a top 5 or 10 list of those with whom you would like to speak. Here are a few companies for Liberal Arts students to check out at the career fair.
Air Liquide, Altria, Amica, Bates White Economic Consulting, Capital One, Catherine’s, Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Ernst & Young, General Electric, Kohl’s, Liberty Mutual, Macy’s, National Security Agency, Northwestern Mutual, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Target, Teach for America, TransPerfect, UPMC, Vanguard, Wegmans, & Yelp.
