The Career &amp; Networking Fair is a professional-but-approachable environment to start conversations, ask questions, and build confidence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Explore opportunities:<\/strong>&nbsp;Learn about full-time, part-time, co-op, summer, and future roles. Even if you&#8217;re not job hunting now or an employer you&#8217;re interested in isn&#8217;t hiring at the moment, understanding what&#8217;s out there helps you plan ahead.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gain insight:&nbsp;<\/strong>Discover what different organizations do, what they value in candidates, and how you might fit in now or in the future. By chatting with a range of employers you can also identify valuable hiring trends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grow your network:<\/strong>&nbsp;Make connections that could lead to mentorship, advice, or future opportunities. Every conversation is a step forward.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Convenient:&nbsp;<\/strong>Meet a wide range of employers that you would not normally have a chance to speak with, all without leaving campus. Drop in between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. as it fits your schedule (last check-in time is 2:45 p.m.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about the Winter Career &amp; Networking Fair, or require accommodations for a disability to attend this event, please email&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:careerfair@carleton.ca\">careerfair@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/01\/W26-CF-Exec-Logo-Website-banner-Large.png\" alt=\"Executive Booth Employers, logos for National Defence and YMCA National Capital Region.\" class=\"wp-image-2066\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/01\/W26-CF-Exec-Logo-Website-banner-Large.png 630w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/01\/W26-CF-Exec-Logo-Website-banner-Large-512x108.png 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/01\/W26-CF-Exec-Logo-Website-banner-Large-320x68.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For full details and to register, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/mysuccess.carleton.ca\/eventsPublic.htm?eventId=14055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mySuccess Co-op and Career Events Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[19],"cu_event_audience":[4,7],"class_list":["post-108","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-career-fair","cu_event_audience-alumni","cu_event_audience-current-students"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2026-02-04 10:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2026-02-04 15:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"TC","cu_event_meeting_room":"2nd floor","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":{"title":"","url":"https:\/\/mysuccess.carleton.ca\/eventsPublic.htm?eventId=14055","target":"_blank"},"cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/108"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2334,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/108\/revisions\/2334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=108"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
