Get your resume ready for the Spring Career Fair on Friday, March 7, 2025!
Send your resume to: resumemania@umsl.edu for a review between the dates of: Monday January 21- Wednesday March 5 @12pm.
A Career Counselor will review your resume and have it back to you within two working days.
Be sure to wear professional business attire to the fair. View a video on career fair dress.
A resume that is polished, along with your conversations with the employer is pivotal to career fair success. Career Services can assist you in creating a well-written, error-free resume. Avoid waiting until the last minute to polish your resume.
Utilize Handshake to view and research employers; visit their website, view peer reviews of employers, and much more. This will help you ask engaging questions when meeting with employers during the fair. Watch a video detailing how to best research employers.
In determining companies of interest, be open-minded. Do not solely concentrate on “big names” or large organizations. There are often great opportunities with companies with which you are not familiar. Explore every possible avenue.
The time you have with a recruiter will be brief. In closing your conversation, be sure to learn the next step and inquire how to follow up. You can use this information to follow up with a short email thanking the employer for the introduction to their organization and to initiate contact with another representative if applicable.
Do not be surprised if the employer asks you to go online to complete an application and/or submit a resume again. Due to employment laws and/or the sheer volume of resumes employers receive, applying online is quite common. For some employers, every candidate— even an internal one--must apply online.
