Engineering and Computing Job Fair returns Oct. 18
Students and alumni will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from more than 170 companies and organizations during the University of Maine’s 2023 Engineering and Computing Job Fair from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the New Balance Student Recreation Center.
The fair, which is expected to attract more than 1,000 participants, is hosted by the Career Center, in conjunction with the Maine College of Engineering and Computing, so students and alumni can learn about engineering and computing firms in Maine, New England and throughout the country; meet company representatives; and find job opportunities for after graduation or on-the-job experience through and internship.
Participants should register online, create a Career Link profile and upload their resume prior to the event. They are also encouraged to download the “Careers by Symplicity” app available on Apple’s App Store and Google Play, which will allow them to filter participating employers by available positions and preferred majors.
Students attending the event are advised to dress professionally, bring resumes, prepare a 30-second introductory pitch and research the companies they plan to engage. Career Center staff also are available to help with resume updates and to provide tips for successful interviewing.
Students who will be driving to the event are asked to park in the Collins Center for the Arts and Belgrade lots. A free event shuttle from the east end of the Collins Center to the New Balance Student Recreation Center will be running throughout the day.
More information, including a list of the companies scheduled to attend, is on the Career Center website.
