What?: Missouri S&T students are quite used to being courted by hundreds of company recruiters each Fall and this year is no exception.  On Tuesday, February 20th, S&T will host the Fall Career Fair.  Here is what you need to know to successfully traverse the fair this year.

When/Where?:  The fair is Tuesday, February 20, at the Gale-Bullman Rec Center, from 9am to 3pm. 

How?: The fair can (and should) be accessed using the Career Fair Plus mobile app.  From there students will be able to filter by major and industry to plan their route through the fair with an interactive map that gives details of each company. There will not be a printed map, plan to bring your mobile device to the fair. 

What Else?: Students should plan to adhere to the strict professional dress code for the Career Fair.  The COER in Norwood Hall has resources, including the free Career Closet, to help students to acquire professional dress, so that the requirement doesn’t operate as a barrier to participation.  

Anything Else?: Don’t forget to bring printed copies of your resume to the in-person fair and upload your resume to your Career Fair Plus profile.  This is VERY important.  Employers can’t (and won’t) contact you for follow-up questions/offers if they don’t have your contact information.  

Is that it?: Yeah, pretty much.  Go download the app, build your profile, upload your resume, print your resume, look at attending companies, map your route, prepare your power introduction, find your professional clothes, buy a comb, use a comb, get a job/co-op/internship.  That’s it.
