If you are a recruiter or job seeker who has found this page and are looking for a ÃÛÌÒ½´career fair that is NOT game development related, you will need to contact SMU's overarching career services department: HEGI Family Career Development Center. ÃÛÌÒ½´Guildhall's private Career Fair is not open to the public; we will not admit any job seekers who are not a student or alumnus of the Guildhall game development graduate program.
