“We encourage our students to network, make connections and share their resumes with a variety of companies at these events,” said Charles Collins, Ed.D., executive director of Husson University - Southern Maine. “If you’re someone who’s interested in learning more about different career and internship opportunities, we hope you’ll join us.

Here are the top five actions every career fair participant should engage in during these events, according to Husson University’s Office of Career Services:
1. Research companies participating in the event prior to attending. If you know more about the skills and interests participating organizations are looking for, you have a better chance of explaining how you can contribute to their success.
2. Remember to bring paper and pen with you. Write down details about particular organizations after you leave their table.
3. Accept business cards from the recruiters you meet. Write follow-up notes on the back of the cards to remind you of what was discussed.
4. Take company materials (i.e., brochures, position descriptions, etc.) that they offer so you can review them later.
5. Demonstrate self-confidence as you work with employer representatives. This is a chance to practice your interview skills in a less formidable place than a formal interview. Talk about your education, professional background, skills and specific interests.
The event is open to all Husson University students, alumni and members of the public. No appointments are required. Individuals interested in participating in the career fair can walk in and meet with company representatives anytime between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on March 11 at Husson University’s Southern Maine campus located at 340 County Road in Westbrook.
