Boise State Career Services

For the first time in Boise State history, BOTH part-time job fairs - the fall On-Campus and Part-Time Job Fair, and the spring Part-Time and Summer Job Fair, will have been rained out in the same school year. 🌧

Despite the incoming storm, the employers are still coming and we'll be heading inside to stay warm and dry! Instead of the SUB patio, find us in the Simplot Ballroom.

Part-Time and Summer Job Fair
TOMORROW, 4/22
11am - 2pm
Simplot Ballroom

Next Wednesday! Come find your summer job or maybe even one you can keep through next year. If it happens to be raining that day, check your email - we'll send you the new location.

Here are some tips for standing out from the competition at Part-Time and Summer Job Fair:
🔹Be friendly! Approach employers with a big smile and a handshake.
🔸Listen attentively, and ask follow-up questions to show your interest.
🔹Don’t just focus on things like pay and hours. Ask questions about the company, their goals, the skills they’re looking for, and what kinds of things you’d get to work on.
🔸You don’t need a formal elevator pitch, but do come mentally prepared to talk about your interests, skills, and other reasons they might want to hire you. If you find a job you’re interested in, work those things into the conversation!
🔹Be open minded and talk to everyone. Don’t rule out a company without talking to them about the kinds of opportunities they have available.
🔸You don’t need to bring resumes (unless you want to!), but make sure you have something you can send in a day or two. When sending out a resume, target it to the type of job you’re applying for, focusing on the kinds of skills and experiences they’re looking for.

Career fair sneak peak! Ok, we won't actually have the fancy distressed wood table -that's just a Canva background - but the map is 100% real and you can claim your very own paper copy tomorrow. Swipe to see the other side for the Jordan Ballroom.

We were excited to have a career fair in the Jordan Ballroom, but as it turned out, so many employers wanted to come and meet you that we had to expand to include the Simplot Ballroom as well

See the full list of 150+ employers attending at the link in our bio.

What to expect:
🔹Bring your student ID for quick check-in.
🔸If you have the Handshake app, you’ll be able to check in at employer booths so they can follow up with you after the fair.
🔹Don’t forget to save time to have your free professional headshot taken, courtesy of the Alumni Association. Photos will be available starting at 9:30 this semester (even though the fair doesn’t start till 10), and the photographer will take two 15 minute breaks around 10:45 and 1.

See you tomorrow!

TIME CHANGE: Headshots will be available starting at 9:30 this semester, even though the career fair doesn't start until 10. The photographer will take two 15 minute breaks throughout the day, around 10:45 and 1. As long as you're in line before 2, you can get your photo taken.

Also new this semester - Boise State Alumni and Friends is our new headshots sponsor, allowing us to continue to provide this service to you for free. Stop by their table and say hi, and learn about:
🔹Opportunities to connect with alumni mentors
🔸How to stay connected to Boise State after you graduate
🔹Getting career support as an alum

Seniors, you know to show up to the career fair, but do you know what questions will make you stand out?

Swipe through these sample questions for ideas, but remember that your questions should be a lot more specific and customized than the more general questions you've seen featured on our page this week.

The BEST questions are the ones that reference something specific you learned while researching that organization. Employers are super impressed by students who did their research and are interested enough to ask thoughtful questions.
