Whether you are using your Handshake account or attending a career fair, the College of Business is working to put you in the room with representatives from companies that want to hire JMU graduates. Your opportunity can also come from employers that visit the college to recruit or alumni that engage with you in the classroom and during student organization meetings.
61%
of the CoB class of 2023 graduates
had full-time employment offers, or had continuing education plans
at time of graduation.
Career Fairs
You can begin building important job search skills by participating in career-oriented events within the department and college and taking advantage of the JMU career fair.
A career fair gives you the chance to network, practice interview skills and gain industry knowledge in a less stressful environment than a typical one-on-one. As a job or internship seeker, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, make connections and discuss your skills and professional goals with employers who are excited to meet potential applicants.
