Upon registering, students can sign-up for employer group sessions (~ 30 minutes) and/or 1:1 chats with an employer (10 minutes). While the event lasts three hours, you can attend as much or as little as desired within the timeframe.

Don’t forget to sign up for our optional Resume Book event, where employers attending the fair can access your public resume and proactively reach out to connect. Employers will have access prior, during, and after the event. Be sure to update your privacy settings to “community” or “employers” and upload your document to your Handshake profile and set it to be “visible”.
