Abstract

Episode 17, the final installment in the Career Services series of the Next Step podcast, features a conversation with Matt and Sarah about career fairs and how students—especially those outside business majors—can prepare and benefit from them. They explain the purpose of career fairs and how to best utilize them. They note students often struggle to present, interview, and “sell” their skills, so practicing and projecting confidence matters (even “fake the smile”) and rewarding yourself afterward can help. They describe how Career Services builds employer relationships and supports internship programs, and encourage anxious, unprepared seniors to come in without shame because staff coach students toward next steps.
