WWU to Host the Virtual Spring Career Fair April 29

Students and graduates looking for jobs and internships are invited to participate in Western Washington University’s Virtual Spring Career Fair taking place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 29.  Participants will have the opportunity to connect directly with employers  to discuss internships, jobs and make connections with recruiters and hiring managers. The event will be hosted within the newly launched Handshake platform, to which all students and alumni have free lifetime access.

The Spring Career Fair provides valuable opportunities for students and alumni of all majors to explore internship and employment possibilities with many diverse organizations.  This event typically  features  employers hiring from all industries and seeking to connect with graduating seniors from a variety of majors.   For those who may be uncertain about their career goals or options, the Career Fair is an excellent resource for conducting job market research with participating companies and organizations such as: Fast Enterprises, Faithlife, Pitchbook, Unity Care, Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife and more. 

To have a successful event experience, it is essential that students/alumni pre-register and build their schedule of 1:1 and group-session time slots in advance, research the participating companies and currently-hiring opportunities, and prepare to speak about their interests and qualifications.
