FAQ

Where is xFair?

  • xFair will be held on the 6th Floor of the MIT Media Lab. Also known as E14, this building is located at 50 Memorial Dr., Cambridge, MA! It is located just to the east of East Campus.

Should I bring a physical copy of my resume?

  • Sure! Remember though that companies will have access to all resumes dropped through drop.xfair.io, so a physical resume is not strictly necessary. Some companies do prefer to collect physical resumes, so feel free to bring a few just in case!

How can I find "X" company?

  • We will soon upload an interactive map to the front page of this site. We will also distribute booklets and physical maps at the fair.

Will there be snacks, food, and drinks?

  • Yes! There will be a variety of snacks and drinks for all attendees. We have a "resume-free zone" designed for taking a break from the bustle of the career fair. There is also a lot of cool swag, including totes, plushies, and stickers :0

What time does the fair start and end?

  • The fair starts at 10AM and ends at 5PM. You are free to arrive and leave at any time during the fair; just make your way to the check-in booth near the elevators on the 6th floor.

What is ProjX and how are they involved with the fair?

  • MIT ProjX provides funding for MIT students to bring their dream projects to life, and we provide a venue for them to demo their projects during the fair! Just like how companies attract students with interesting demos, ProjX allows companies to see the cool projects MIT students work on for fun!

What is the dress code?

  • Casual/Business Casual. We hope for xFair to be more about interactive demonstrations and genuine engagement than formalities!

Do I have to check in or register for the event?

  • No, but you can drop your resume at drop.xfair.io. Employers will receive the set of resumes a few after the fair, and they may reach out to interview with you!

Who do I contact if I have any questions about the fair?

  • If you have read through the fair homepage xfair.io and this entire FAQ and your question still has not been answered, please feel free to contact xfair-team@mit.edu!
