To enhance your recruiting efforts, the CALS Career Services staff is available to assist you in customizing your experience. In particular, please consider the following ideas:

  • Setting up on campus interviews

  • Receive ad discounts with our advertising partner – The Daily Cardinal. This is a great way to connect with students on Career Fair visits, information sessions and campus interviews.

  • Visiting with Student Organizations or CALS faculty

  • Previewing students' resumes on our BuckyNet online system ahead of your visit

  • Sponsoring dinners or informal gatherings where you can talk to students about your organization

  • Speaking at or sponsoring pre-fair workshops on topics such as resume writing or networking

    • If you would like to discuss how we can help you meet your organization's individual recruiting goals and needs please contact Sue Dewane in CALS Career Services at 608-262-3460, careers@cals.wisc.edu

    Join us for an employer reception immediately following the Career Fair. This is an opportunity for you to visit with UW-Madison faculty, Career Services staff, and colleagues and enjoy some Wisconsin beverages and appetizers.

    CALS offers students educational workshops related to careers preceding and during the Career Fair. Recruiters often participate in these workshops providing a valuable perspective to students and gaining direct access to students. We plan to offer a workshop on the topic of leadership, helping students understand why leadership experiences are important to employers and how students use leadership skills in particular industries. If you would like to participate in this workshop, please contact John Klatt, Ph.D., 608-262-4618, jklatt@cals.wisc.edu
