EIU Career Services

Career Fairs

Career Fairs are great opportunities to showcase your skills and talents. Each semester employers visit EIU to recruit upcoming graduates and students for internships and entry-level career opportunities. Networking at career fairs is a great way to land interviews and job offers. Take advantage of this chance to interact face-to-face with employers.  

All Fairs for the Fall Semester will be held virtually through HANDSHAKE.  Log in to your HANDSHAKE Account HERE.
