One of the biggest misconceptions about the IABA Annual Meeting is that employers first see your resume when you hand it to them at the conference.

The reality? Every sponsor receives and reviews the Resume Book before the Annual Meeting. Many recruiters and hiring managers arrive already knowing which students they want to connect with, interview, and learn more about.

If you're looking for an internship or entry-level opportunity, make sure your resume is part of that conversation before employers arrive.

The deadline is : July 3. Upload your resume here:
