Schools from the Big East Athletic Conference have joined together to form a Big East Recruiting Consortium and will hold two recruiting events in March. Building on the success of the last year’s Big East Career Fair and the acclaimed annual Big East e-Fair, the consortium will again conduct this venture -- the live career fair in New York City! It’s our version of MARCH MADNESS!

Participating Schools: DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, Rutgers University, Seton Hall University, St. John’s University, Syracuse University, University of Cincinnati, University of Connecticut, University of Louisville, University of Notre Dame, University of Pittsburgh, University of South Florida, Villanova University, and West Virginia University.

Where else can you make multiple employer contacts from the comfort of your home or anywhere else with internet access? Virtual e-Fairs are an excellent chance to submit your resume to a variety of different employers for various positions. No suits required. No expensive professionally printed resumes. You only need an online resume, internet access and time. The virtual e-fairs offer you an additional resource for your job search needs by connecting you to a variety of employers. Check Career Services "CSC Special Events" for dates.
