Still haven’t found a job yet for the fall? Whether you’re fresh out of high school or looking to graduate this spring, here’s where you can go to snag a job or internship over the next few months.

1. Senior Job Search Kick Off
Sept. 3, 6 p.m.
Marvin Center Grand Ballroom

This kick-off session is an introduction to a series of events and programs designed to give seniors the tools to find their dream job. Seniors who RSVP in GWork can enjoy snacks and desserts as they meet potential career coaches and learn about the resources GW offers to match students with a career.

Afterward, participants can make an appointment with their career coach for more individualized guidance on job searches.

2. Federal Work Study Job Fair

Marvin Center Continental Ballroom

Open to undergraduate students who qualify for a federal work-study position, this job fair is where students can connect with future employers and learn more about work-study positions at GW. Organizations at the fair include GW departments or other University-approved employers looking to hire students for the year.

Local employers such as D.C. Reads, the Department of Dance and Recreation, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, among others, will be at the fair again this year.
