Internship/Multicultural Career Fair
Yes, prospective full-time job/internship seekers, today is the internship fair. Over 80 companies from a wide cross section of industries are convening in the Michigan Union to recruit University of Michigan students. Here's a link about the Internship Fair and the Multicultural Career Fair. Here are a few tips:
1. Dress well - This doesn't mean you have to wear a pricey Italian cut suit, nor does it mean that jeans are acceptable. I'd say wearing at least business casual, but most people will be a little bit dressier.
2. Bring resumes - Definitely have a copy of your resume handy. Employers might ask for them and you might want to look over it in the hallway before you enter the ballroom.
3. Do your homework - Having a little background on employers you want to talk to is a good idea. Knowing about them will give you fodder for conversation and you want have to waste time discussing what is already listed on companies' websites. A list of participating organizations can be found here
Also, definitely go to both days of the fair. Different employers will be here on different days. Bring your M-Card! The fairs are today and tomorrow from 2pm-6pm.
