Fall Career Days is quickly approaching! 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.
It is never too early to start preparing for the fall career fair!
Start 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, Amica, Bates White Economic Consulting, Dick’s Sporting Goods, EY, Federal Reserve Board, GE, Johnson & Johnson, Kohl’s, Liberty Mutual, Macy’s, Montgomery County Police, National Security Agency (NSA), Northwestern Mutual, Oracle, PA State Police, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (PwC), Qualtrics, Target, Teach for America, TransPerfect, U.S. Department of State, and Vanguard
