BizCareers in Marketing, Sales, and Analytics
6:00 p.m.Oct
22
6:00–8:00 p.m.
Meet multiple employers eager to hire interns and college grads in one evening. Ask direct questions, learn tips and insights on how to improve your application and stand out, and make an in-person impression for your next steps or the near future! Spots are limited so early registration is encouraged.
BizCareers in Marketing, Sales, and Analytics is a unique recruiting event facilitated by the Lundquist College of Business, not a career fair, but focused industry hiring and insights. If you are ready to apply and land your summer internship or post-grad role—or to make an impression and learn what it will take in the following year—be sure to attend!
This is a recruiting event. Use this as a chance to explore how your interests align with each company's roles, culture, and career paths. Come prepared with research on each company, an updated resume, and clear talking points about your interests and skills. Attend a preparatory session, meet with an advisor, or visit drop-in advising in Lillis 155.
Attending companies are limited to 8 to 10 who are actively hiring for internships or college grad roles for the 2026–2027 cycle. Many companies are offering multiple openings or cohort-style hiring, meaning strong chances for placement. Round robin format rotations through up to 8 sessions with small groups of 20 to 25 students will allow for focused time with hiring teams. Each session may also include an informative talk, meet and greet, or question and answer session depending on the company.
Be sure to attend the follow-up opportunity the next morning (October 23) at BizCareers Breakfast, an open networking session from 9:00–10:00 a.m. in the atrium of the Lillis Business Complex to continue building relationships with recruiters from the event. Demonstrate your interest, commitment, and initiative!
Companies in attendance to be announced—check back in September!
