Technical Career Fair in the BMU Auditorium
12:30pm - 4:30pm
CLICK HERE FOR COMPANIES REGISTERED TO ATTEND FOR SPRING 2024 [UPDATED 2-9-2024](opens in new window)
To participate we ask that you prepare a resume at least two weeks in advance. We recommend including an additional page for a "Projects Profile Summary" if you have done "Projects" that showcase your skills.
Guidelines for a proper resume are available at the Chico State Career Center. If you need help with writing or updating your resume, they have drop in and appointment hours. They have sample resume templates you can use. Please use their templates and not ones from the Internet. These are proven Chico State templates.
Use this event to prepare you for applying to any/every job opportunity available online. We have folks at Tesla, Space X, Toyota, Ford, Intel and other Fortune 500 companies that are not recruiting on our campus. Those students honed their interview skills using on campus career fairs as practice. Then went online or to conferences to meet those company reps.
Please make sure you include your Wildcat Email in your resume as an additional contact for you.
RESUME RESOURCES:
You should ask your major Advisor, Professor, Dept. Chair, Engineering Success Center and/or Career Center to look over your resume for proper technical accuracy, terminology and proper resume grammar. It is important that you have a well refined resume because the recruiters, hiring managers and HR staff will use it to qualify you for their available positions as either an internship or permanent position.
OUR GOAL IS YOUR SUCCESS!
Here are a few websites you can start looking at to plan your resume before meeting with one of your advisors and/or with one of the Career Center team members.
