Students and alumni, UMBC's largest annual career and internship fair
returns to the RAC (Retriever Activities Center) this year for our first large in-person fair since 2019. Come meet with 140 employers ready to recruit UMBC talent for internships and full-time opportunities.
- First impressions are important, so plan your wardrobe ahead of time and dress professionally.
- Make sure your resume shines, check out our resume writing page. Then get your resume critiqued by attending our drop-in hours (M-F, 2-4pm), resume rescue day (Sept. 19) or scheduling an appointment with the Career Center.
- Bring several printed copies of your resume (around 15-20 copies).
- Research the employers attending the event in advance and prepare intelligent questions. See the Career Fair Directory for added details on the employers and what they are recruiting for.
- Practice your 30-second commercial/pitch. Be sure to check out our micro session: Perfect Your Pitch (30-Second Commercial).
Student/alumni job-seeker registration is NOT required.
See the list of registered employers on Handshake.
Alumni and students from all majors and academic levels are encouraged to attend.
Pssst! Need a breather? Forgot to bring a snack or a drink? The Disability Advocate Union welcomes you to the Relaxation Space on the track level of the RAC! Stop by for a reaffirming chat with a club member, light refreshments, or for a quiet moment to yourself. See you there!
