Hi all,

There are two big career fairs (and another one that may be of use) happening in October. My very highest recommendation is to attend them and find your next job or internship. It will never be easier to get a job or internship than at these career fairs. But…you may want to know how they will go down, you may want advice on how to approach them, and you may want to know what these companies are looking for. We got you. I know the College had a prep session today, and I’m offering our departmental services for one next week. 

What: CEE and Construction Career Fair Preparation Session
When: Wednesday, October 9th, 2024, 12:30 – 1:20 p.m.
Where: More Hall, Room 230
Why go: learn how best to get a job or internship!

When are these career fairs? See below.
1. CEE Career Fair. Wednesday, 10/16, 1:30-4:30 in the HUB Ballroom. This is your 1A most important career fair. There will be oodles of companies looking for interns and full-time hires. Lots of students get their internships and jobs through contacts made at the career fair. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. There are eager companies everywhere. 
2. Construction Career Expo. Tuesday, 10/29, 11:00-3:00 in the HUB Ballroom. This is your 1B most important career fair. It may be your MOST important if you are interested in construction engineering. There will be oodles of construction companies (big, small, building, infrastructure, and everything in between) looking for interns and full-time hires. 
3. SEBA Science and Engineering Career Fair. Tuesday, 10/15, 11:30-3:30 in the HUB Ballroom (is it a ballroom or a career fair room?). They will have all sorts of companies here, and some will be civil or construction companies. This is definitely the least important of the 3, but it still works and there are still internships/jobs available here. 

If you are in the department, you really must go to the CEE Career Fair. If you are at all interested in construction you must go to the Construction Career Expo AND the CEE Career Fair. Go to both. Trust me. If you can make the time, go to the SEBA one too. Honestly, going to a career fair is WAY more important than your class at the same time. My class on 10/16 meets at the career fair for a short career fair assignment. Getting a job/internship is extra!
