Job Fair Overview 

Texas A&M University–Commerce holds three job fairs each year to help candidates make direct, personal contact with employers. Complete details are available in the Career Services office and are also posted here 30-60 days before each event.

 "Business" Job Fairs
Representatives of  business, industry, and government attend the Job Fairs held in October and February in the  Memorial Student Center on campus. Employers participate in these events to meet students and recruit employees. They can provide general information about career options as well as specific information about current openings. As a student or graduate, you can attend a job fair to look for a job, gather career information, and/or develop your network of career contacts.

 

Teacher Job Fair
80+ school districts are represented each year at the Teacher Job Fair in April to both provide information about opportunities in the district and to briefly interview candidates seeking teaching positions for the upcoming school year.

Tips for Job-Seekers

Take advantage of job fairs—and make the most of the opportunities—by observing these "rules:"

  • Review the list of employers before you arrive to determine which ones you want to be sure to visit with.

  • Broaden your focus and consider as many possible employers as you can. (You may discover wonderful possibilities that you were not even aware of!)

  • Have a pen/pencil and paper handy for notes.

  • Bring several copies of your resumes.

  • Dress professionally.

  • Be direct. Introduce yourself. If you are looking for employment, state the type of position in which you are interested. If you are gathering information, let employers know that you are exploring career possibilities and looking for information.

  • Ask for employers' business cards for follow-up discussions and correspondence.  Then DO follow-up!
