East Carolina University (ECU) students are invited to explore a wide range of career opportunities at the upcoming Spring Job & Internship Fair. Scheduled for February 14th, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, this event will take place at the Greenville Convention Center, located at 303 Greenville Blvd SW, Greenville, NC, 27834. This career fair is an invaluable opportunity for ECU students seeking full-time employment, internships, and Co-op positions, connecting them directly with potential employers eager to recruit ECU talent.
Students from various ECU colleges, including the College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Health and Human Performance, and the College of Fine Arts and Communication, are especially encouraged to attend. This event is specifically tailored to facilitate meaningful interactions between students and employers from diverse industries, providing a platform to learn about available positions and company cultures.
To assist students in attending, transportation will be available from Central Campus to the Greenville Convention Center. While advance registration is not mandatory, students who register will receive timely reminders and important career fair updates, ensuring they don’t miss out on any crucial information. A significant highlight of the event is the availability of FREE professional photos, offering students a chance to enhance their professional profiles.
Preparation is key to making a lasting impression at this professional business event. ECU Career Services strongly advises students to thoroughly research the attending companies beforehand using Handshake. A diverse array of businesses across various sectors participate, and their representatives expect students to demonstrate knowledge and genuine interest in their organizations. The list of participating employers on Handshake is continuously updated right up to the event date, so frequent checks are recommended to stay informed about which companies will be present and what employer information is available.
To maximize your success at the ECU Career Fair, remember to bring multiple copies of your resume. Past events have shown that over 52% of students engaged with 6-15 employers, highlighting the importance of being well-prepared with ample resumes. 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, dressing in business professional attire is highly encouraged to project a polished and serious image to prospective employers.
