The Virtual Last Chance Job Fair will take place on the new Handshake Career Fair platform and in-person on campus (scheduled appointments only). Make sure to dress professionally and update both your Handshake profile and resumes.  

Important Details:

• Register for the fair! To participate in employer 1:1 meet-ups and/or employer group sessions, you MUST be registered!
• View participating employers to prioritize your fair schedule
• Advance sign-up for 1:1 and group sessions is highly recommended to secure your spot (day-of sign-ups may be available, but the most popular slots may already be filled)
• Make sure your Handshake profile is up-to-date and completed. Employers have the ability to set student qualifications for their 1:1 sessions (ie if your GPA is missing and an employer marks that as a qualification, your profile will be excluded)
• On the day of the fair, make sure to dress professionally, be in a quiet location when interacting with employers, and research the employers you will be meeting with. We want you to stand out!
