More than 100 Companies Recruiting for Jobs and Internships at STEM Career Fair Wednesday
The University Career Development Center, in collaboration with the College of Engineering, will host the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Career Fair from 10 a.m. to noon and 1-3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, in Bud Walton Arena.
The STEM Career Fair is designed for all University of Arkansas students majoring in science, technology, engineering and math. However, any student interested in working in any of these fields is also invited to attend, regardless of major. Currently 115 employers from around the country have registered for the fair to meet, network with, and potentially hire talented UA students for their internships, co-ops, and full-time positions.
Students are encouraged to attend the STEM Career Fair to identify employment opportunities, expand their network, polish their interview skills, learn industry information, and gather information about companies. Students may also get their professional photo taken at the fair for free.
The University Career Development Center also hosts "Day after Career Fair Interviews." Students may walk away from the career fair with invitations for interviews the very next day.
It is important for students to prepare for the STEM fair and bring several copies of previously reviewed and revised resumes. Employers and career counselors will be available to review students' resumes at the Career Development Center's Drop-in Resume Review sessions scheduled for March 10th from 10am-2pm in the ARKU International Connections Lounge.
Students may catch a shuttle to and from the career fair at the following location: Bell Engineering (Dickson Street side), 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m. The last shuttle from Bell to the fair will leave at 3 p.m.
