Join us online for Career Fairs 101: What Every First-Year Student Needs to Know (Even Before You Pack), a quick virtual session designed especially for new students—or for students who haven’t experienced a career fair—who want to learn what career fairs are all about and why they’re an important part of your Illini experience.
Career fairs at Illinois start just two weeks after classes begin. These events are packed with employers eager to meet U. of I. students (yes, even first-years!). We’ll cover what career fairs are, why they happen so early, and how The Career Center can help you make the most of them as soon as you step foot on campus.
Whether you're looking for a part-time job, exploring internship opportunities, or just curious what all the hype is about, you’ll find this valuable information and a great way to get a head start before the semester begins.
