INTERNSHIP AND JOB FAIR SUCCESS TIPS
Research the companies. Rehearse elevator speeches. Dress professionally. Bring plenty of resumes. Perfect your interview skills. Use NIU’s job search system – Huskies Get Hired – where employers find new talent for jobs and internships, and where NIU students can create, upload and publish their resumes.
Students can visit our Career Peer Mentors in the Career Resource Center, Monday-Friday from 10 am to 3 pm in CLB 235, for resume review assistance. The Career Resource Center is not open on the day of the Internship & Job Fair.
