Career Fair

AAF District 10 STUDENTS + PROFESSORS:

Join us in Dallas, TX at SMU for the NSAC presentations in just a few short weeks. In addition, we’re super excited to announce that we will have a student career fair at Advent10n this year on Thursday, April 10th from 10am-4pm. The event will run the entire day, so we hope you can meet these people before or after your NSAC presentations.

The companies and organizations that will be in attendance range from agencies from District 10 to recruiting companies that have offices across the country. Students, be prepared to bring your résumés, refresh those LinkedIn profiles, and sharpen those elevator pitches – it’s time to make a first impression that’s NOT just behind a computer screen!
