Mock Career Fair

Live Practice Before It Counts for Real

At the real career fair, you have only one chance to make a good first impression, give your pitch, and leave a lasting mark on a recruiter. This is your chance to get ready for that moment, with unlimited practice in a low-pressure setting.

Here’s what Undergraduate and Graduate students get out of it:

A polished elevator pitch: Keep practicing your research, skills, and qualifications until it feels natural, using quick feedback to help you improve your delivery each time.

Better Conversation Skills: Learn how to ask questions that make employers remember you, answer their questions confidently, and get immediate feedback on how you come across.

Professional Manners That Make You Stand Out: Master the small things like handshakes, follow-ups, first impressions, and how you dress. These details can make a big difference in how others see you.

A Plan for Before, During, and After: Leave with clear, useful feedback you can use right away, so you enter the real fair with a solid strategy ready.

Graduate & PhD Resources: Learn how to find international-friendly jobs and internships in the U.S. & discover resources that help you transition into academic and non-academic careers!
