UBC Tech Career Fair
Date
–
The fair is happening Thurs. Jan 30, 10 am to 4 pm in the Life Sciences Centre. Last year over 50 companies attended, and we're expecting a similar number this year.
The fair gives students an excellent chance to speak with recruiters and other company representatives about new graduate, summer, internship, or co-op positions.
Some resources to help you prepare for the fair (provided by Diane Johnson, our department's Career Planning and Placement Coordinator).
