Spring Career Fair

Career and Professional Services welcomes Coppin State University students to attend its annual Spring Career Fair.

Why Attend?

The Spring Career Fair is a valuable resource as you explore career and graduate school options. Meet and talk to representatives from a broad spectrum of companies and graduate schools.

How to Prepare

• Do your research on the organizations and graduate schools that will be attending. Register for the career fair via Handshake to see the employers that are coming.
• Prepare some questions for the recruiters.
• Practice introducing yourself. Include your full name, major, graduation date, and career interest as it relates to the company or graduate school. Design your own elevator/30 introduction speech using Vmock.
• Choose your outfit. Plan to dress professionally and wear comfortable shoes. Sign up for the JCPenney Suit Up event.

Day of the Career Fair

• Arrive early and bring multiple copies of your resume in a portfolio or folder. Design a resume in VMock.
• Take notes and a business card so you can follow up with a thank you note or email to each recruiter you spoke with at the career fair.
• Carry as little as possible and turn off or silence cell phones prior to going into the career fair.
• Be confident, direct, and take the initiative to ask questions.
