2025 Design Career Fairs Student Page

There are two versions of the Design Career Fair:

Please register for both events on Handshake to connect with the employers – you must register for the virtual event before signing up to meet with employers.

Meet representatives from firms and organizations looking to connect with Design students, make their work known and recruit for available full-time, part-time, and internship opportunities. We expect 60+ firms at the in-person fair this year!

If you have any questions about the fair, please contact:

Students have the opportunity to add their resume to resume books prior to the career fair, and these will be shared with all employers the week prior to the career fairs. This provides employers with the opportunity to reach out to students directly if they choose to do so.

This is an extra opportunity, and does not take the place of applying for specific positions at organizations that you are interested in. Resumes uploaded for the resume books will be viewed by any employer that has registered for this event.

Before you submit your resume, check out our Design Resume Guide to get assistance in creating your resume. Sign up for an appointment with a Peer Career Advisor through your Handshake account to get feedback on your resume.

Submit your resume in PDF format to the folder(s) relevant to you. **Do not submit portfolios. Any portfolios submitted will be deleted.**

The deadline to submit your resume is Thursday, January 30th at 12 PM ET.

If you run into any challenges with submitting your resume, please reach out:
