HireAJag Career Fair
Tuesday, February 6th
University-Wide Career Fair Event open to all majors.
Help your peers make the most of the career fair!
Your help is needed during the fair for general hospitality and check-in assistance. We're also looking for setup and breakdown assistance before and after the event!
Required Attire: Because business casual attire is required for the participants in the fair, volunteers should also dress accordingly as they will be representing the University. Some volunteers will assist the employer representatives with bringing in/taking out materials, so comfortable shoes for walking would be advised.
Volunteers Shifts
8:00 am until 9:30 am: Setup assistance is needed including the transportation of materials or employer items around the Mitchell Center, guiding employers to their booth or brunch area, and employer check-in table assistance.
9:30 am until 3:00 pm: General hospitality and check-in assistance needed during the career fair
2:00 pm until 4:00 pm: Provide breakdown assistance to employers and Career Services team with some light cleanup, as needed
Benefits of Volunteering
We know your time is valuable and want to make sure you understand how important the service is that you provide to students and Career Services. Please see the list below about why we think you'll find this experience so beneficial!
- Represent the University. Stand out as a high-caliber student from the Flagship of the Gulf Coast and demonstrate your leadership abilities.
- Resume Development. Add this experience to your resume to spotlight your professional skills related to communication, service orientation, and professionalism.
- Network with Industry Leaders. Talk with industry leaders and learn about their career paths, recommendations for preparing for life after college, and opportunities that match your career aspirations and goals.
Of course, there are many more benefits to volunteering than the three reasons listed above. If you have questions about volunteering, the career fair, or specific topics related to your professional development, please contact Hannah Oswalt or Career Services for more information and assistance.
