“Make a difference abroad. Stop by the Peace Corps info table to talk to a local recruiter about opportunities to live, learn, and work with a community overseas.”
This year marks the 56th Annual Fall Semester Job Fair! This is an opportunity for employers to share information about a wide range of career possibilities with NMU students. Employers are also welcome to recruit for full-time or part-time positions, internships, and summer staff. There is no cost for students or alumni to attend this fair.
Remember to dress for success and have your resume ready!
Win a prize! Students/alumni who register in Handshake and also check in at the job fair will be placed into a drawing. Ten winners will be selected and notified the day after the fair.
There will be an opportunity to get a professional headshot taken at the fair!
