Boise State Career Services

No one said looking good was cheap. Lucky for you, you're a Boise State student, and we work hard to get you all the deals. At the career fair this Wednesday, take advantage of FREE professional headshots provided by our friends at Marsh McLennan Agency.

Here are some tips for looking good from our photographer, :
👔 Make good choices about your appearance. Come to the career fair - and your photoshoot - showing employers you're ready to impress.
👠 Solid colors usually work best. Avoid prints and textures that distract from your face.
👔 Style yourself in a way that reflects your personal brand.
👠 Smiling on command is... surprisingly hard. Practice your expressions in a mirror to build muscle memory so you can have the perfect friendly, approachable smile in your photo.

While you're looking your best, make sure to go talk to Marsh McLennan Agency about the opportunities they're hiring for!

Round 2 of Name That Event is here.

I'm:
❓Your chance to help Buster choose a tie
❓Not on campus
❓A way to get what you need for interviews, internships, networking, presentations and more
❓Happening Sunday, April 14 from 4-7pm

What am I?

And the correct answer to last week's Name That Event challenge is......... the Part-Time and Summer Job Fair, probably the most literal of all our event names. Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like.

Thinking about finding a summer job? Here is some extremely questionable advice from AI. You're welcome.

⭐️Power pose while riding a tiny inflatable pool floatie. Dominate the job fair with both confidence and poolside vibes 🏊‍♂️💼
⭐️Spot the booth with the most free snacks. That's your new employer. Priorities, people.
⭐️Don't forget to bring a translator app for business speak. "Fast-paced environment" might actually mean they have a llama for an office mascot. 🤓🦙
⭐️Resumes are so last season. Instead, bring a carrier pigeon with a message detailing your qualifications. Bonus points for dramatic release. 🕊️
