Career & Transfer Fairs

group of people that attended the career fair

Career Fairs are open to alumni as well as students to ensure you have as many opportunities as possible to network with employers in your field of interest. We highly encourage all alumni to attend Career Fairs at HCC on a regular basis in order to network and connect with Houston employers. Career Fairs are held in the Fall & Spring semesters at various HCC campuses around the Houston area. 

Alumni can register for Career Fairs in CareerHub.

 

Tips for success at HCC Career Fairs

  • Research - Ensure you are aware of which companies will be attending and visit their website in order to be prepared to ask questions when speaking with the recruiter. 
  • Register - We recommend students registering for Career Fairs within the CareerHub. This is also where students can view registered employers.
  • Resume - Be sure to bring dozens of resumes to give to employers. 
  • Upload - Upload your resume to your profile online in order for your resume to be sent to employers. 
  • Attire - Dress professionally as this is a serious event and you want to make a lasting first impression. 
  • Smile - Employers are also determining whether you would be a good fit at the company. Your personality needs to shine! 

Dress To Impress Partners

We highly encourage alumni to prepare to dress professionally for Career Fairs. If you do not have professional attire, you will need to schedule an appointment with the Career Center in order to have a referral to our Dress To Impress Partners where professional attire is given to the alumni for FREE. 

Career Gear - This local non-profit provides professional business attire to men who have a financial need. (Referral from Career Services)

Dress For Success - This local non-profit provides professional business attire to women who have a financial need. (Referral from Career Services)

To visit these community partners to receive a free suit, alumni will need to visit the nearest Career Center to obtain a referral. We highly encourage alumni to schedule appointments to discuss this topic with a Career Specialist.
