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!
GW is committed to operating, in all its programs and activities, in ways that express its responsibilities as a preeminent institutional citizen of the nation's capital. The Career Center is proactively engaging in creative partnerships with employers and equipping students for new opportunities in a market affected by the challenge of sustainability.
A carbon footprint is the measurement of the carbon dioxide emissions of something that drives the creation of those emissions like a person, company, country, etc. CO2 emissions come from activities such as the use of combustible engines in vehicles or the burning of coal for our electricity, and these emissions are causing the Earth's climate to change and warm, which will have catastrophic results if we do not act to reduce them. A carbon footprint is usually measured in metric tonnes of CO2 using a number of factors.
Carbon offsets allow you take action on global warming now. By supporting carbon-reducing projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects we can support the removal of tonnes of CO2. Supporting one metric ton of CO2 removal offsets one ton of CO2 being emitted.
Carbon dioxide emissions are a global problem, so reducing a ton of CO2 in Brazil or North Dakota has the same climate change benefit as doing so in your backyard.
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint for this event, the Career Center is making more environmentally friendly choices:
This initiative is cosponsored with the GW Office of Sustainability and the Carbon Fund
