Upcoming UMD career fair and other resources


 We have a semester full of opportunities for you all, which can always be found on Handshake. There are a few upcoming that I want to make sure you’re aware of:

Spring Career and Internship Fair:

The Fair will be held on February 24-26 from 11-4 in The Hotel. 


Given how inconsistent and competitive the current job market is, I want to offer some additional advice to make the most out of your experience at the Career Fair:

  • Now more than ever it’s important that you review the list of employers who will be attending each day to make a plan for your participation

  • Approach employers with an open mind, and seek out organizations that you find interesting, not just ones that are hiring for your major

  • Consider how the skills from your major may be applied in different fields—this can open you up to new opportunities!


Career Fair Prep Programming and Resources:

We offer a variety of events and resources to help you feel prepared to go to the career fair. A few I’d like to highlight:
