We are pleased to invite you to the 2017 Spring Career Fair at Columbus State University. This is an excellent opportunity to recruit qualified undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni by attending this event. Annually, the fair draws hundreds of talented CSU students and alumni from a variety of majors to one location on a single day. This event offers an excellent opportunity for you to gain additional exposure among CSU students, collect resumes, recruit for entry and mid-level positions as well as internship and cooperative opportunities (co-ops).

Students and Alumni DO NOT need to pre-register. This event is free to ALL Columbus State University students and alumni. All candidates are required to dress professionally and bring plenty of resumes to distribute to employers. Please note candidates who are not dressed appropriately will not be admitted until the dress code has been met.
The event will feature FREE Professional LinkedIn Photo Headshots and the Chance to Win a $200 Career Wardrobe spree with stylist assistance.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make an "all out" effort to meet with every employer that has the potential to hire you. In order to make that happen you will need to be prepared. Preparation is the key to making a successful presentation at any career fair.
