Each Fall & Spring semester, we invite many of the nation's top companies to the Kennesaw campus in order to showcase KSU's brightest students and alumni for internship, co-op, full-time, & part-time positions. 

This event is for jobs and internships in all majors and industries. Students of all majors and class levels are encouraged to attend. Don't forget that this is a two-day fair, so be sure to look for which day each company or school will be in attendance and make plans to attend both days to visit with more companies! 

To help you plan what day(s) to attend, we have centralized some majors to one day of the fair: 

  • Health-related sciences, Helping Profession related majors, and Nursing – Check out employers attending Day 1
  • Business Technology and all other STEM majors - Check our employers attending on Day 2
  • Business, the Arts, and Humanities – Check out BOTH days to see new employers each day 

Use the Handshake app to run filters specifically for your situation. You can sort by major, job type, school year, industry, keyword, and much more! 

Attendance reserved for KSU students and KSU/SPSU alumni only. 

Please NoteBusiness Casual to Business Professional dress and student ID are required for entry. Bring plenty of copies of your resume to give to employers!

We look forward to being your host in March!

    10 Tips

Tips from your Career and Internship Advisor

    • Download the Handshake app (free download for Apple and Android devices) to see the list of registered employers for the upcoming Job & Internship Fairs.
    • You can see all organizations attending the event by clicking on it in Handshake. Check back frequently to see new employers, but more importantly...do your research!
    • Do research inside Handshake, but do not stop there. Find the organization's website to learn more about the company, mission, and any open positions listed on their website, under "Careers," "Employment," "About Us" or similar sections.
    • Use other websites to do research as well. Many employers will have a presence on LinkedIn, where you can learn more about them and even explore who is already employed there and the backgrounds and professional experience of those individuals.
  • How to create a unique elevator speech for each employer:

    1. Hi! I’m (your full name). I’m a/an _____________________ major, graduating in _______.

    2. Next say something interesting about yourself, something that will impress this specific employer.

    Examples:I just completed an internship with ¬(company name) in the _____________Department. It was amazing…
    I have a 3.5 GPA and have always excelled academically.
    I am the President of ___________, (describe the organization: purpose, # of students…)

    3. Wrap it up by expressing your interest in the employer: "I am very interested in working with you because…(insert your research)

    4. Finally: May I give you my resume?

    Practice, Practice, Practice: Know your Elevator Speech & say it with ease…

    NOTE

    Do not leave without...requesting a business card, so you are able to write a thank you note within 24 hours. Always attach your resume.

  • Your resume needs to be perfect: no spelling or grammar mistakes, reverse chronological order, everything aligned.

    Please review the Career Guidebook for tips on creating a strategic resume, along with additional resume samples available on our website here (click on the link that matches your college under "Resources for Writing Your Resume and Cover Letter").

    NOTES:

    1. Resumes should be printed on "resume paper," a slightly heavier paper that typically has a watermark. This paper is available at stores like, Staples, Office Depot, and Walmart.
    2. Always bring more resumes than you think you will need. You never know how many employers will stop you and introduce themselves or employers that you decide you'd like to meet.
  • Present yourself in a professional manner - dressing professionally is one of the keys to making a great first impression! Remember, business casual or business professional attire is recommended for this fair.
