"Engineering and Technical Career Fair"

Consisting of engineering and computing companies looking to hire you!
Many of the firms that come to this career fair are looking for programmers and project managers. If you want a job (or internship) within the next year, this is a perfect place to look. If your job search is more than a year away, then this is a perfect time to practice going to a job fair. Some helpful links: What to do: show up, wander around, find a CS faculty member to record your attendance. You do not need to spend more than half an hour at the fair, but you may want to plan on more.
