Your Student Life: Career Studio

September 1, 2026

The upcoming University-wide Career and Internship Fair (September 16-17) is a great opportunity to explore career paths, connect with employers, and learn about internships and full-time opportunities. Taking time to prepare before the fair can help you feel more confident and make a stronger impression on recruiters. Whether you need help polishing your resume, identifying employers of interest or practicing how to introduce yourself, Buckeye Commons offers a variety of resources to support your success.

One of the easiest ways to get career support is by visiting a Career Studio, a welcoming drop-in space where trained Student Peer Career Coaches provide quick, practical career guidance. No appointment is needed, and Peer Career Coaches can help you build or update your resume, search for jobs and internships, prepare for interviews and connect you with a professional Career Coach for more individualized support. Career Studios are designed to make career guidance accessible and approachable for all students. Career Studios are available at The Ohio Union, Busch House Residence Hall and Thompson Library. Learn more at Career Studios.

Students are also encouraged to attend a career preparation workshop before the career fair. Workshops cover topics such as career fair preparation, networking, LinkedIn, job search strategies, and professional communication with employers. These sessions can help you develop a game plan for making the most of your career fair experience. To view the current workshop schedule, visit Buckeye Commons Workshops. If you would like more personalized support, you can also schedule a one-on-one appointment with a Career Coach through Buckeye Commons Career Coaching Appointments. Investing a little time in preparation now can help you maximize the opportunities available at the University-wide Career and Internship Fair.
