Candidates who attend ICJF and IMJF submit their resumes to be scanned into a database as part of the registration process. This database is given to you, free of charge, as an employer registered for the event. The database is interactive and searchable, so you can identify prospects much faster and more accurately than sorting through stacks of paper resumes.

This database is made available to you through web access within one week after the event.
Company Promotion and Job Fair Marketing
The Indiana Collegiate Job Fair is promoted and marketed in many ways to reach a large and varied audience. The job fair itself is marketed across the country to a large number of two- and four-year academic institutions.
ICJF is heavily promoted amongst the thousands of students at all the Indiana state-supported four-year institutions statewide through various methods: posters, mass mailings, campus newspapers, e-mail, the web, class presentations, and other marketing methods utilized by the campus placement offices.
The community is targeted through multiple advertisements in major newspapers, television talk show and news station appearances, radio station segments, public service announcements, community event calendars, community organization presentations, and more.
As companies register, they are then advertised on the Indiana Collegiate Job Fair Web Site, in newspaper advertisements, in e-mail messages, posted lists, and finally in the Job Fair Guide. Click here for information on purchasing half- and full-page ad space in the Guide.
