Looking for your next big opportunity? Whether you're scouting for a job, an internship, or just want to get a feel for the industry, the Career & Internship Expo on February 21, 2025 is the place to be. Employers are actively searching for students like you to fill full-time and part-time roles, and this is your chance to make those connections.

Think of it as more than just a job fair. It's an opportunity to meet industry professionals, learn about different career paths, and get real-world insight into what employers are looking for. The conversations you have here could lead to your next gig or open doors you didn’t even know existed.

How to make the most of it?

Get your materials ready. A solid, well-organized resume goes a long way. If your LinkedIn or Handshake profile needs a refresh, now’s the time.

Know your story. Have a quick, confident way to introduce yourself that highlights your skills and what you're looking for. Keep it natural and engaging.

Have something to say. Come with a few good questions for recruiters. Asking about their company culture, upcoming projects, or hiring process shows you're serious about the conversation.

First impressions matter, especially when you're stepping into the professional world. A strong headshot on LinkedIn or Handshake helps you stand out and make a lasting impact.

Good news for USF College of Design, Art & Performance students. You can get a free professional headshot at the Career & Internship Expo. No stress, no cost, just a chance to look sharp and put your best face forward.

A few tips for a great headshot:

Wear something that feels like you. Whether it’s bold, classic, or effortlessly cool, choose an outfit that’s professional but still reflects your unique style.

Let your personality show. A natural, confident expression goes a long way. You don’t need to force a big grin. Just be yourself!

Own the moment. Take a deep breath, relax, and trust that your energy will come through in the shot.

Show up, get your photo taken, and set yourself up for success. Simple as that!
