UA Spring Career Days

Spring Into Summer with this Last Chance Career Fair!
Mark the dates, location and time for the biggest spring career fair at the University of Arizona: March 20 & 21, 2012. Held in the Student Union Memorial Center Third Floor Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., both days feature nonprofit 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 (generally the 700 aisle and higher...Be sure to look for the banners) 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.

Make the Most of This Opportunity
Career Services has developed a checklist to help you plan and organize your efforts for UA Spring Career Days. Whatever your employment goals may be, everything from career-related experience to permanent employment, you need to be informed, organized and confident. The best way to accomplish this is to be prepared. Think of the few minutes you will spend with each recruiter as an opportunity to shine. Do your homework. Research the companies you are interested in. Have copies of your resume on hand. And finally, smile and have some fun! We suggest you develop a brief, well-planned summary of yourself. Develop your One-Minute Commercial.
Freshmen: Your Chance to Gather Valuable Information
Begin your career exploration here! If you have decided on a major, use this career fair to identify sources for future internships, career-related experience, and even potential employers. You can begin looking at how to apply your major to a career. If you have not yet chosen a major, gain valuable "real world" information by talking to some of the nation's largest employers at this event. What majors are they interested in? How can you design and plan your education to be a great candidate upon graduation? Here are some great sample questions to get you started when talking to recruiters.

Graduating Students and Alums: Let's rock!
