The Virtual Fair Format
The University of Pennsylvania has decided to move to a virtual format for 2020-2021 career fairs. The health and safety of our students and employer partners is of the highest concern to all of us, and we are confident that a virtual fair will provide an excellent avenue for students and employers to connect. Penn will be using the Handshake career fair platform as it will provide many benefits including the following:
- A familiar and integrated platform which students and employers already use for job listings, information sessions and campus interviews
- Flexible communication modalities including video, audio, and text
- Group sessions that help students learn about the organizations in which they’re interested during the fair
- 1:1 appointments and scheduled interactions that allow students to form a more meaningful connection with recruiters during the fair
Employers with specific opportunities can identify these during the registration process by linking their registrations to jobs they have posted on Handshake, and these will be highlighted in the pre-event outreach and marketing to students interested in attending the fair.
We encourage employers to register by Monday, February 1. This will allow you time to set preferences on your 1:1 meetings and efficiently use the virtual interaction time.
Don’t forget to view our other virtual career fairs to find the events that are the best fit for your recruiting strategy. You can find more information on the fairs on our website: https://careerservices.upenn.edu/career-fairs/
