Make the Most of Your Virtual Career Fair

Published

A virtual fair isn’t quite the same as walking into the SDC and weaving through rows of booths — but with a little prep, it can be just as impactful. Think of it as your chance to connect with employers without the lines, the noise, or the scramble. Here’s how to set yourself up for success and make the most of the experience.

  1. Strengthen Your Handshake Profile

Companies want to be able to find candidates by searching through Handshake, too! Make sure your profile makes it easy for them to find you. Potential employers search for candidates on Handshake before and during the fair, so think of your profile as your first impression.

  • Build Your Profile: Start with the basics. Handshake has a quick guide to help you create a strong public profile.
  • Polish Your Resume: Update it, refine it, and share it with Career Services once it’s done. We’re more than happy to help if you’d like feedback.
  • Upload Your Resume: Upload your final resume to your Handshake profile and make it public so employers can view it. 
  • Add a Headshot: Need a professional photo? Stop by Career Services during our normal walk-in hours
