Visual Arts Hiring Fair

Structured as a reverse career fair, 30-40 UMD students talented in graphic design, video production and/or animation will display their work. Employers will circulate around the room to meet students, check out their work and pick up resumes. Each student must go through a training prior to the event to ensure they have at least 3 quality work samples, a professional resume and an understanding of the networking process.

Register via the RSVP button above and then watch for a follow-up email with an invitation to complete the required training on ELMS no later than February 12. The training will require you to submit your resume as well as at least 3 high quality work samples (graphic design) or a brief demo reel (video production; animation). After the first 40 students register for the fair, a waiting list will form. You must complete the required training on ELMS by February 12 in order to keep your spot on the waiting list. If you have any questions about the requirements, please email Kate Juhl at kjuhl@umd.edu. This fair is open to students of all majors, as long as you have demonstrable skills in graphic design, video production and/or animation. Recent graduates are also eligible to attend.

This fair is sponsored by AIGA, the College of Arts & Humanities, and the University Career Center & The President's Promise.
