Registration is opened for a fair as soon as a date and venue location are finalized. To register, log in to our GWork system at mygwork.gwu.edu. The link for registration will be listed on the GWork homepage under “Announcements.”
If you do not register at least three weeks before the fair, you will be assessed a late fee and you will not be included in the employer fair directory. This directory is made available to students a week before the fair and includes detailed descriptions of attending organizations and the positions they are seeking to fill.
Yes, we place employers on a waitlist once a fair becomes full. Employers are taken off the list in the order in which they registered, as space becomes available.

What your registration provides you:
• One 2’ x 6’ (check dimensions) table at the fair
• Signage provided by our marketing staff
• Lunch for two attendees
• Parking validations for two attendees
• Inclusion in the fair directory provided to students
Cost of registration includes two company representatives. We want to provide you with a comfortable atmosphere, so we suggest that you only bring two people due to the limited space between tables. There is a $50 fee per additional representative. This must be paid at the time of registration.
We request that the registration payment be processed prior to the fair to secure your registration. If are unable to adhere to this guideline, please contact us at 202.994.8633 and let us know when you expect to make a payment.
You may pay online through our secure GWork system by Visa/MasterCard, or by check. Checks should be made payable to The George Washington University and mailed to:
GW Career Center
Attn: Employer Partnerships
1922 F Street, NW
Washington, DC 20052
Please write the name of the fair you are attending in the memo section of the check so that we can process it accordingly (e.g. Fall Career Fair, Internship and Part-time Job Fair).
Although it is not required, we prefer that you include the names of those who will be attending the fair on your registration form so that we can know who to expect the day of the fair.
No. To be fair to each organization, we arrange employer tables alphabetically.
We are currently in the process of researching this possibility. Please contact us at ocr@gwu.edu or 202.994.8633 to learn the current status of this service.
For the Fall 2008 Career Fair, we will provide a curbside drop-off service for your materials. We will send a comprehensive registration confirmation email approximately three weeks before the fair, which will include precise details about drop-off procedures.
Yes, we will validate up to two GW-affiliated parking passes for all day free parking if you park in a GW-owned parking facility (see Parking & Directions for more information). Please note that there are non-University affiliated “Colonial Parking” garages near campus for which we cannot validate.
We will be happy to post your contact information in the Announcements section of the student version of the GWork homepage so that students may contact you directly.
Wireless access is not available.
GW’s W-9 number is located in the right hand corner of your registration form. In addition, a signed W-9 will be attached to the invoice we email to you.
We expect upwards of 800 students for fall and spring career fairs, and upwards of 600 students for the part-time and internship job fairs.
The number of employers we can accommodate depends on the fair location at the University. The Smith Center for Athletics can accommodate approximately 175 employers, and the Marvin Center can accommodate approximately 90.
Yes. GW career and job fairs are open to all alumni and all current undergraduate and graduate students.

Registration fills up fast, so secure your spot early! Registering on time ensures your inclusion in the fair directory—one of our marketing tools provided to students the week before the fair.
Make your profile as specific as possible—including job descriptions, company culture information, expectations of applicants—to ensure you attract the students you want! Your profile will be included in the directory, which students use to decide which companies they will visit at the fair.
Arrive early to set up your table, relax, and enjoy our refreshments—catering is provided—before students arrive. Ample time allows you to set up your materials, get your parking validated, and touch base with our staff should you have any questions or concerns. We want to make sure you have the most stress-free day possible!
Many students have classes at some point during the day of the fair and come to the fair at different times. Stay until the end of the fair to ensure you meet all possible qualified candidates for your job! An empty table could cost you a quality candidate (and it can cost you your reputation).
Students love free stuff. If you wish to appeal to students in new ways, bring giveaways to leave lasting impressions. Students everywhere love free food, t-shirts, pens, gadgets, etc!
