Career Events

Choosing the right internship can take a lot of thought and consideration. Things to think about could include do you want one out of state? Should you do one paid or unpaid? Where is the best place to look for an internship and how can you I prepare? Join us and Career Services as we unpack exploring internship opportunities!

Join Career Services for an evening to learn about professionalism and dining etiquette. The dinner will serve as an opportunity to learn about fine dining as well as an opportunity to network with employers and alumni. Seating is limited to 175 students. To secure your seat, please visit the Career Services Office on the 5th floor of the LBJ Student Center between 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday, to pick up your ticket. The first day to start RSVPing is March 3rd, so mark your calendars!

How to prepare before the event:

1. Check the employer LIST in Handshake to see who is attending
   
2. Conduct RESEARCH on employers you want to meet – learn about their organization's values, departments, and major initiatives
   
3. UPDATE THAT RESUME! Utilize our drop-ins services or see career services for assistance.
   
4. DRESS for the organization you want to work for. Each company typically comes with their own style, we highly encourage you to check their company culture to see how they approach in-office attire.
