Careers in Education Fair

This year, we are returning to an in-person fair.  Prepare for this fair as you would for any other in-person career fair.

Let’s Get Ready!

• Professional attire is encouraged.
• Have your resume reviewed prior to the event. The C3 provides an Express Drop-In service (no appointment needed), weekdays between 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. for resume reviews, mock interviews, and more.
• Have an updated electronic copy of your resume easily accessible.
• Research the organizations before attending.
• Prepare questions to ask employers so you can see if an employer is a good fit with your values, abilities, and interests.
• Have a platform (notepad or phone app) to jot down notes of your conversations with recruiters to use during your follow-ups.
• Come prepared knowing your availability for employment or internship, including start and end dates.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before the Event:

• What kind of experience are you looking for?
• Where would you be willing to relocate for work?
• Does the area of education you are looking to work in require any special certifications?

The Career Connections Center hosts a series of workshops each semester to prepare students for career fairs. Visit the career.ufl.edu/events for details.
