Both employers and students interested in participating are invited to contact the Department of Communication for more information. Students are not required to pre-register for the event, but must dress professionally – and are encouraged to bring several copies of their resumes or business cards. In addition to researching companies prior to the career fair, students are advised to consult in advance with University Career Services for advice on basic networking and interviewing skills, and guidance in tailoring resumes and cover letters to specific job postings.
