The Fall 2024 University Career Fair will take place in Atlantic Union Bank Center across 2 days- 9/24 & 9/25 - from 1-5pm on each day.
This career fair is open to all JMU students across all majors and class years, as over 100 employers from multiple industries are coming to campus to recruit JMU talent from all academic programs for different jobs, internships, and career opportunities.
Registering for both days of the University Career Fair in Handshake is important - as the roster of employers for each day of the fair is totally different. Being registered allows employers to see your profile and resume to potentially connect even ahead of career fair's dates.
Registration is highly encouraged, but not mandatory. If you don't have a chance to register beforehand, you are still welcome to attend!
Prepare for the Fair with events like:
- 9/8: Success Suits You- Discounted career apparel
- 9/16: Career Fair 101
- Clothes, Cookies, & Resumes- Fair Preparation
- Check out our resources and guides for career fairs
- Watch videos of previous career fairs
See what companies align with each Career Community
^ Narrow down companies based on your areas of interest
See alumni recruiters and their campus involvement
^ Great for forming talking points to connect over
