Student Job and Internship Fair to offer 4,800-plus opportunities

Roughly 120 employers are expected at the Student Job and Internship Fair scheduled for Friday, Jan. 29, in the Barnhardt Student Activity Center.

Organized by the University Career Center, this newly renamed event focuses on internships, co-ops and student jobs (part-time, full-time and temporary jobs that don’t require a degree).  These types of opportunities allow students to build their resume through career-relevant experience, gain financial support and explore potential career paths, said Career Center officials.

The Student Job and Internship Fair is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it is open to all undergraduate and graduate students.

Attendees should bring copies of their resume and be prepared to complete job applications; some employers will conduct interviews during the event.  Business casual or professional attire is highly recommended.

Representatives from Crown Castle, Autism Charlotte, Bosch Rexroth, Carowinds, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, IKEA, Girl Scouts, Kohl’s, Mooresville Spinners, TIAA-CREF, U.S. National Whitewater Center, the University Professional Internship Program and other organizations will attend.

Ready to Declare?

Reminder: All grades must be posted from Fall 2015 before applying.

Use the Declaration of Major Form (If this link is inactive, please check back later. Thank you.)  This is an online request for current Belk College pre-majors who are eligible to declare their majors. Non-majors and declared upper-divsision majors cannot use this form.  It is intended for students who have already met with their Academic Advisor to discuss degree requirements for their chosen major.  Students who have not met with an advisor to discuss the requirements for their chosen major should schedule an advising appointment via Starfish and complete the declaration form in-person.

Happy Holidays from the Belk College of Business Advising Center!
