Melissa,

By now you've probably heard about *the upcoming UW Spring Career Fair 
<http://engage.washington.edu/site/R?i=N8yG1_dojVHPWxdgejpZaQ..>* -- 
whether on our Facebook 
<http://engage.washington.edu/site/R?i=E9e1hJva7mTTg72rnwoPdw..>, our 
Twitter <http://engage.washington.edu/site/R?i=zPVrc7F7BUF1EWZIillMcA..> 
or our web page

Well, here's a prescription designed to ensure your attendance at the 
Career Fair is well-prepared so that you're well-remembered.

   1. *TODAY! *Network with and learn from professionals at the *April
      6th /Employer Conversations: Career Paths for Humanities and
      Social Science Majors/* featuring a panel of UW alumni and
      industry reps will share their tips and thoughts on why makes
      liberal arts grads such valuable employees and how to make sure a
      position is a good fit for your degree.

      When: *Tuesday - April 6 @ 4:30 -- 6:30*
      Where: HUB 108
      Notes: Networking after the event.

   2. Make sure your resume is effective at the *April 8th Resume Café
      <http://engage.washington.edu/site/R?i=hA5Ae6p2nmjOX-MFe0U9ng..>*
      where HR reps from more than 20 businesses and organizations will
      be on hand (first-come, first serve) to help you *refine and
      polish your resume* over 20-minute one-on-one sessions. These reps
      will happily share their experience, answer your questions and
      give you important tips on how to *make your resume stand out.*

      When: *Thursday - April 8 @ 1:00 -- 4:30*
      Where: Mary Gates Hall
      Notes: Signups start promptly at 1. Make sure to get there early,

   3. Create your success at the *April 14th UW Spring Career Fair
      <http://engage.washington.edu/site/R?i=4qIwPsNDKgpi5acFiHJ1ZA..>*
      where more than 100 businesses and organizations from throughout
      the Puget Sound region, Washington State and the country will be
      on-hand to meet with you about internships, part-time and
      full-time jobs they have. *Yes, with jobs and internships they are
      trying to fill* *with students and alumni* -- like you!

      When: *Wednesday - April 14 @ 3:00 -- 7:00*

      for the names of businesses and organizations attending, print it
      out, and make a list of who you want to see at the fair!

   4. Network your way to a job with T-Mobile, watch a movie and get
      some pizza *for free *at the *April 22nd T-Mobile Movie Night.*
      Whether you want to reconnect with the folks you met with at the
      Career Fair or you just want to hang out and watch /*The Blind
