Career Day is held at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. It is more commonly referred to as the “job fair.” Career Days have many different companies and representatives in attendance. A popular misconception about Career Day is that companies are there to hire on the spot, which is not the case. Career Day is a one day networking event intended to facilitate face-to-face interaction between students and employers. Students are required to dress professionally, and they are highly advised to bring copies of their resume. Target audience: Primarily graduating students, but any and all students can attend. Many of the companies in attendance offer part-time jobs, co-op's and internships for sophomores through graduating students. -Career Days are exclusively for FAU students and Alumni-
