  4. Click on the Employers tab, click an "employer" (all of them will be represented by Career Center staff). Then join the queue!

At UMBC's Spring Virtual Career & Internship Fair (February 25), you'll have an amazing opportunity to meet 100+ hiring employers. But what if you've never been to a virtual career fair?

This is your chance to get familiar with the UMBCworks virtual career fair platform AND get tips and advice from our expert Career Center staff. We invite you to stop by this virtual career fair simulation for just a few minutes to explore the platform, chat with a career advisor, and even practice your pitch. All students are welcome!


"What if I'm not ready to deliver my career fair pitch?"
No worries! This is a low-pressure event designed to help you feel confident and ready for the upcoming virtual fair. We are happy to help you brainstorm what to say when interacting with employers, and can also answer questions and share general tips.
