Mark your calendars for February 14th, 2024, as the Spring Job & Internship Fair arrives at the Greenville Convention Center, located at 303 Greenville Blvd SW, Greenville, NC, 27834. From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, this pivotal event will connect ambitious ECU students with a diverse range of employers eager to fill full-time positions, internships, and co-op opportunities.
While the College of Business is a central focus, students from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Health and Human Performance, and the College of Fine Arts and Communication are also highly encouraged to attend. This inclusive career fair is designed to bridge the gap between academic excellence and real-world professional environments, offering a platform for students across various disciplines to explore their career aspirations.
To ensure ease of access, transportation will be available from Central Campus to the Greenville Convention Center. This eliminates logistical barriers, making it simple for all students to participate in this crucial career event. Pre-registration is not mandatory, but students who register via Handshake will receive timely updates and valuable reminders, ensuring they don’t miss out on any important details.
One of the standout features of this year’s College of Business Career Fair at ECU is the availability of FREE professional headshots. Recognizing the importance of a strong professional image, this service provides students with a valuable asset for their LinkedIn profiles and job applications, all at no cost.
To make the most of this opportunity, preparation is paramount. ECU Career Services strongly advises students to leverage Handshake to research the attending companies. A diverse array of businesses spanning numerous industries will be present, and demonstrating knowledge about their operations and opportunities is key to making a strong impression. Keep checking Handshake as the event date approaches, as new employers will continue to register, ensuring an updated and comprehensive list of participating organizations.
Maximize Your Impact: Essential Items to Bring
Learning from past events, students consistently emphasize the critical need for an ample supply of resumes. At previous career fairs, over 52% of students engaged with 6-15 employers. Therefore, arm yourself with a substantial stack of resumes to ensure you can capitalize on every valuable interaction.
For on-campus students, your ECU OneCard will serve as your admission ticket. Alumni and distance education students should bring their ECU OneCard, Banner ID, or student email address for entry.
Finally, remember that this is a professional business event. Business professional attire is highly encouraged to project confidence and demonstrate your commitment to making a strong first impression on potential employers.
This ECU College of Business Career Fair is more than just an event; it’s a launchpad for your future. Come prepared, make connections, and take the next step towards your dream career.
