\u201cStudents should come to the Career Fair with multiple copies of their resume, which should be updated, proofread and error-free,\u201d Acting Director of Career Services Henry Burgos said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cResumes and portfolios should be reviewed prior to the Career Fair by the Career Services Team,\u201d Burgos said, \u201cto schedule an appointment with staff, please email CareerServices@tamuk.edu<\/em> or call 361-593-2217.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business casual attire is recommended for students. Students should \u201cdress to impress as if meeting with employers in an interview\u201d Career Advisor Deborah Levensailor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHowever, we strongly encourage that students use professional attire,\u201d Burgos said. \u201cSome employers will interview students during the Career Fair, and knowing that first impressions leave a lasting impression, we strongly encourage students to dress in suits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe recommended attire is always conservative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burgos also recommends students pick neutral colors like black, blue and gray avoiding bright shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStudents should expect to meet and network with over 50 employers to explore all available internships and job opportunities,\u201d Burgos said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCompanies such as Citgo, Ernst & Young, Texas Parks & Wildlife, Coastal Plains and Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will be in attendance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students should research the companies in attendance and can find a full list of employers on Handshake under the events tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s recommended students prepare a 30 second or less elevator pitch stating their name, class year, major, relevant experience, and why they are a strong candidate for the job while highlighting their knowledge of the company. Students can find more information on the Career Fair Checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStudents can attend anytime during the hours of the fair,\u201d Levensailor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere will be a check-in table for them to sign in and pick up a map of employers to know where each booth is located.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t have professional attire? No problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStudents in need of professional clothing should contact Career Services to visit our Professional Suit Closet,\u201d Burgos said. \u201cStudents can borrow suits, ties, dress shirts and belts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The suit closet is located in Eckhardt Hall and students can find a list of sizes online at http:\/\/www.tamuk.edu\/studentsuccess\/csc\/services\/suit.html<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, students can call Career Services at 361-593-2217 to schedule their visit.
