The Career Center hosts employers on campus regularly throughout the school year, bringing individual employers to campus with the goal of intentional recruitment. We utilize Handshake, our Career Center Instagram, email, and Wofford College’s Daily Announcement newsletter to invite students to on-campus recruiting opportunities. Our Career Center professionals will work with you to select a time that best fits your recruiting schedule as well as the Wofford student schedule.

Reserve a high-traffic location on campus to engage with students informally as they pass between classes and campus activities. Tabling provides a casual, approachable way to promote your organization, distribute materials, and start conversations with students about internship, job, and networking opportunities.

To help you make the most of your tabling experience, we recommend bringing:

- Sign-up sheet (physical or digital) for students to share their contact information for future opportunities
- The Career Center will provide a QR code Sign-up sheet for Wofford students to check-in when visiting your table. This allows students to check-in to the Handshake event. This sign-up sheet will be shared with you after the event.
- Recruitment supplies:
- Flyers or brochures about your organization
