Registration opens for the 2021 Spring Career and Internship Expo on January 1.
Unlike previous years, you MUST REGISTER FOR THE EXPO AHEAD OF TIME TO PARTICIPATE!
Click here to join the fair and browse 1:1 and group meetings with employers, across all industries. You can even create your own personalized schedule of events for day-of expo planning! This video is the best place to start.
We know virtual fairs are still new territory, so you might be unsure how to prepare. Having a public, updated, and accurate Handshake profile is more important than ever. In fact, there may be qualifications (major, graduation year, etc.) for some 1:1 meetings with employers. So make sure to update your profile with your most accurate graduation year, major(s), and public resume. We also recommend adding a professional photo to your profile. Google Chrome and Firefox are the preferred browsers for Handshake technology.
Here's a great workshop recording to help!
If you have technical issues, questions before talking to employers, or want to practice your pitch before a 1:1 session, we will have an ongoing Zoom during Expo: the Owl Mentor Nest. Career advisors will be ready to speak with you! Link coming soon.
