Resume Fest (Students and Alumni)
Resume Fest is an all-day interactive event for students and alumni to interact with employers and have their resumes and cover letters professionally critiqued. Employers provide students with tips on interview preparation, networking and engaging with employers at Career Fair. Resume Fest takes place a few days prior to Career Fair and Career EXPO.
Resume Fest is open only to FIU students and alumni and is free of charge. Students and alumni wishing to attend Resume Fest need to register through their Handshake account. Students and alumni should wear professional attire and have a print or digital copy of their resume available.
