Career Services' Virtual Employer Expo to be held Oct. 13
Students and Alumni, the Virtual Employer Expo is for YOU! Meet employers who are hiring for jobs and internships from all majors and class levels on Friday, Oct. 13 from noon to 3 p.m., online. It’s all happening on Handshake, the free online recruiting platform connecting universities and employers!
Employers will host two types of sessions. Participants can sign up for BOTH options.
- Group Sessions- Learn about employers in a group-setting that might include a panel discussion, video, Q & A, or presentation. Sessions are designed to be 30 minutes or less in length.
- Individual Sessions: Individual sessions are 10-minute timeslots reserved just for you and representatives from an employer. Individual sessions provide an opportunity to directly ask questions, the option to share your resume, and practice networking skills.
Get the most out of participation by registering in advance and signing up for group and/or individual timeslots hosted by employers throughout this event. Participants can also log in anytime during the event and join group or individual sessions that are scheduled to take place.
