Students and alumni, don't miss this opportunity to attend UMBC's largest annual career and internship fair!

Connect in-person with 140+ employers representing a variety of corporate, non-profit and government organizations, ready to recruit UMBC talent for internships and full-time opportunities.

How can you be successful at the fair?

First impressions are important, so plan your wardrobe ahead of time and dress professionally.

Make sure your resume shines, check out our resume writing page. Then get your resume critiqued by attending our drop-in hours (M-Th, 2-4pm) or scheduling an appointment with the Career Center.

Bring several printed copies of your resume (around 15-20 copies).

Research the employers attending the event in advance and prepare intelligent questions. (Closer to the fair date, we will post a Career Fair Directory for added details on the employers and what they are recruiting for.)

Practice your 30-second commercial/pitch. Be sure to check out our micro session: Perfect Your Pitch (30-Second Commercial)

Alumni and students from all majors and academic levels are encouraged to attend.

Pssst! Need a breather during the fair? Forgot to bring a snack or a drink? Stop by the Relaxation Space at the event for a reaffirming chat, light refreshments, or for a quiet moment to yourself.
