Job Seekers DO NOT need to pre-register. This event is free to everyone. All candidates should dress professionally and bring plenty of résumés to distribute to employers.
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 job or internship fair.
View our Tips page in the Career/Job Fairs area of our website at www.mckendree.edu/careerservices for great information!
To make the most of the event, we especially recommend you do the following before the event (PREPARE!)
Day of the Event (PERFORM!)
After the Event (PERSIST!)
After the event, you should make it a point to follow up with a letter expressing your interest in the company and in what they have to offer. You may want to include an updated résumé, a link to an electronic portfolio, or provide better answers to specific questions asked during the event. Thank you/follow up letters should be received by the employer within two to five days after an event.

Thank you for your interest in McKendree University's 2018 Career Fair! We are holding our annual Fair on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. This Fair is a great opportunity to recruit quality candidates for internships, professional positions, and your graduate school programs. The event will be open to all students from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. in our Hettenhausen Center for the Arts, with a continental breakfast for employers before the fair. Your participation in the Career Fair at McKendree University would be greatly appreciated by the campus community.
You will be speaking primarily with junior- and senior-level students seeking internships, full-time employment, and graduate school information. However, some First-Year and Sophomore students will also be in attendance. We encourage you to register early for this Fair because of limited space. A system-generated confirmation email will be sent once your registration has been approved.
We look forward to hearing from you, and would like to thank you in advance for your participation in this mutually beneficial event. It is through your support that we are able to offer this opportunity to our students. Please contact Jennifer Pickerell (618.537.6806 or jkpickerell@mckendree.edu) if you have any questions.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to personally meet with motivated and talented individuals.
