Your Guide to
Career Fairs can be intimidating, especially if you don’t know how to prepare. Cal Poly has a number of career fairs during Fall Quarter, some hosted through Career Services and others hosted through individual clubs. We wanted to put all those details in one place so you can spend more time getting ready. If you want one-on-one help updating your resume, preparing your pitch, researching companies, or knowing how to follow-up with recruiters, the Career Readiness Center can help you. Make an appointment here.
