All Careers Fair & Walmart Networking Event

On Wednesday, Sept. 12, from 1-4 p.m., the University Career Development Center in collaboration with Walmart will host the All Careers Fair and the Walmart Networking Event in the Arkansas Union Ballroom. This fair is open to all UA students.

UA students, whether you are looking for a full-time, part-time position or an internship, you will find great opportunities at the All Careers Fair to connect with prospective employers from a variety of industries. Also, attend this fair to expand your network, polish your interview skills, learn industry information, and gather information about companies. Some employers who attend this fair are focused on students with specific majors; however, many are interested in UA Students from a broad range of disciplines. No matter your major, if you are interested in working for any of the industries in attendance, this is the fair for you.

The Walmart Networking Event provides an opportunity for students to connect with Walmart representatives from 15-20 departments in a career fair setting. Zoë Barton, the Walmart senior campus recruiter, said, "At Walmart we are looking for the brightest and the best relent to join our teams all around the world. This is the place where individuals take pride in striving for excellence, while changing the way the world shops. We partner with the University of Arkansas year after year to find these exact individuals, and we invite you to learn more about our global team of associates and vendors, where you can truly make an impact. This is the place where new ways of thought and unique perspectives are embraced, and where together we can change the way the world shops."

It is important for students to prepare for the career fair and to bring several copies of previously reviewed and revised resumes. Students can have their resumes reviewed by attending the Career Center's Drop-in Resume Review scheduled for: Tuesday, Sept. 11, in the Arkansas Union International Connections Lounge, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Business casual attire is required to attend.
