UA Spring Career Days

Spring Into Summer with this Last Chance Career Fair!
Mark these dates, location and time for the biggest spring career fair at the University of Arizona: March 30 & 31, 2010. Held in the Student Union Memorial Center Third Floor Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., this fair is unique in that we have combined some smaller fairs to make one big super Spring fair. Both days feature non-profit and healthcare organizations, government agencies, industry and business opportunities.

The exhibit hall will be divided each day by technical and non-technical recruiters to maximize your efficient navigation of this event. If you are looking for technical jobs, head straight for the tech aisle (see signs) and concentrate your efforts there. If you are looking for non-tech positions, you won't spend time at a great company only to find they are only recruiting for tech positions. Whether you are looking for tech or non-tech positions, be sure to attend both days of this career fair for the widest range of career options and opportunities available!

If you are just beginning your academic career as a freshman, or you are a graduate student with years of academic savvy under your belt, or even if you are a UA alum with some real world experience, UA Spring Career Days has something for you! Take this important opportunity to meet and speak with hundreds of recruiters from companies, agencies, and organizations throughout the United States.
