Benefits of attending:
- Establish and grow your professional network by making contacts for the future

Many employers will encourage students to apply to employment opportunities through the mySuccess job board or their organizations’ job portals. At the Career & Networking Fair, you can drop by the resume review station for a short on-the-spot resume check-up to make sure you’re submitting a strong application. You’re encouraged to have a paper copy on hand for the review.
