Career Expo preparation workshops
Prepare for the Career Expo by attending one of our optional preparation workshops; you also can view the Career Expo Preparation Workshop Video. In these workshops, you will learn what employers expect of students and alumni, how to talk to employers, how to dress appropriately, and what to bring with you to the Career Expo.
Note: Career Expo 2018 / Education Career Fair 2018 is hosted by the Career Center, so the workshops are not a requirement in order to attend the event. These workshops do NOT meet the COB Career Fair waiver option.
The workshops, Career Expo 2018 / Education Career Fair 2018, and JobTracks are free to current students and alumni.
