Career and Internship Fair

CDC’s annual flagship event, the Career and Internship Fair (CIF), was met with much success, attracting more than 100 employees from across a variety of sectors. With 2022’s fair conducted virtually due to the pandemic, it helped provide a safe and conducive environment for both employers and students.

Still, preparation is key if you want to make the best of this event. Here are a few things to take note of before you attend (physical or virtual):

• Do your research on specific roles of interest you want and focus on your strengths and how they make you the perfect fit for the job.

• Update your resume! If you think it still needs some polishing, consider checking in with our Career Coaches ahead of time.

• Be proactive and show your enthusiasm when conversing with employers.

• Dress well and be professional.

Learn more about the company’s culture, and what it takes to excel in the respective job roles. It is highly recommended that you contact the CDC to arrange for a mock interview prior to CIF.
