More than 130 employers will showcase their organizations to hundreds of job-seeking students and alumni at this year’s upcoming Fall Career Fair — the university’s largest annual recruiting event and only campuswide career fair.

The 2019 Fall Career Fair, open to MTSU students and alumni, will be held from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3, inside MTSU’s Murphy Center on the track level. A searchable campus map is available at http://bit.ly/MTSUParkingMap.

“MTSU has a student body known by employers for their work ethic and diverse skills in communication, problem solving, teamwork, and technology,” said Dusty Doddridge, director of MTSU’s Career Development Center, which provides services such as career counseling, help with resumes, job search coaching and assistance with graduate and professional school applications.

“Many students will be seeking entry-level employment upon graduation and internships while currently enrolled, making the Fall Career Fair a great opportunity for employers and students to connect,” Doddridge added. “This signature event typically attracts over 140 organizations and 800 students and alumni.”

This year’s event has 134 registered employers and organizations, ranging from financial services firms and insurance companies to airlines and law enforcement agencies and many more career fields in between.

As always, students and alumni are encouraged to bring copies of their resumes and dress to impress.

The Career Development Center is located in Room 328 of the Keathley University Center. For more information, call 615-898-2500 or email career@mtsu.edu.
