Virtual University-wide Fall Career Fair Days 2023

The annual University Career Fair Days event provides an opportunity for Cornell students to meet with representatives from organizations interested in hiring Cornellians. Career Fair Days will span over a two-day period. A wide variety of employers attend, ranging from Fortune 500 to government and nonprofit employers. These organizations attend to increase campus visibility, illustrate the benefits of employment in their organization, and provide information to Cornell students about entry-level jobs, co-op opportunities, and internships. Many of these organizations also participate through Cornell's Campus Recruiting program and use the Career Fair as a kick-off for their recruiting season. Others attend to introduce Cornell students to their organization and to collect resumes for future openings.
