Creighton University’s All-Majors Career Fair, hosted by the John P. Fahey Career Center, featured about 90 employers and gave students opportunities to connect with organizations, find internship opportunities, volunteer and even score jobs post-graduation. 

The employers present at the fair on Friday, Feb. 21 were diverse, including some of the largest finance and tech companies, healthcare companies, local service providers and post-graduate educational institutions.  

The Career Center makes sure every student is ready to visit employers through their career fair prep events and workshops leading up to the fair, so every Creighton student can feel at ease and prepared when going to the career fair. The prep sessions include resume help, strategizing, practicing students’ elevator pitches, practice questions, free headshots and even a closet that students can borrow business clothes from.  

At the event, the booths took up the entire Harper Ballroom and some space outside the ballroom. Students gathered in their business best with the hope of finding internships for the summer, LinkedIn connections, job shadowing opportunities and an array of other things pertaining to building a good foundation for their professional lives.  

When asked about the significance of the career fair, Assistant Director of Operations and Outcomes of the Career Center Seth Kleinwort said that, in addition to meeting employers, the career fair is “also good practice just to network and get to make connections.” 

Kleinwort also said that the career fair provided a space where students could make connections. 

“[The career fair offers] a lot of opportunities that they may not have otherwise just to meet some employers,” Kleinwort said. 

The All-Majors Fair is accessible to all students. Katie Wessel, Associate Director of the College of Arts and Sciences and Nursing, said. 

 “They [employers] look for students of all different majors, which is why we call it the ‘All-Majors Career Fair.’ … There’s a lot of opportunities to connect and learn about different industries and explore,” Wessel said.  

Wessel, Kleinwort and other professionals in the Career Center help students achieve their professional goals.  

“For preparation, we can do elevator pitch practice and resume review; we go over which employers are coming and then just [in] general make sure that we give them coping skills for being nervous,” Kleinwort said. 

 “We’re supporting students wherever they’re at in the process,” Wessel said. 

The career fair is a great opportunity for students to find any opportunities they can think of, from internships to just getting more connections on LinkedIn.  Creighton University’s All-Majors Career Fair, hosted by the John P.
