The Job and Internship Fair at Salem State University is Career Services’ premier annual event and open to all students from first-year to soon-to-graduate. It provides students an opportunity to connect with employers looking to hire SSU talent, explore other industries, practice elevator pitches, discuss future internship opportunities, and more.
How to Prepare
Step 1: Research employers
Look at the list of companies attending and think about companies you’re genuinely interested in. Take a little time to research about the companies, know what they do and what roles they may be hiring for. Explore employers.
Step 2: Update your resume
Make sure you bring multiple copies and tailor it toward the roles you want, keep it clean and one page if possible. Get resume help.
Step 3: Practice your intro
Have a quick 20–30 second pitch ready: your name, major, year, and what you’re looking for.
Step 4: Dress professionally
Business casual is usually safe unless told otherwise. When in doubt, dress a little nicer than you think you need to. If you are in need of business attire, visit the Salem State Career Closet.
