So, how do you get prepared?  Here are some resources to help you.

  • Watch this how-to video guide  on virtual career fair registration and read Handshake’s Top 10 Tips  to help prepare.
  • Read my favorite article on career fairs, What Recruiters Wish You Knew About Career Fairs .  While this article was written prior to virtual fairs, much of the advice translates to a virtual setting.
  • Are you feeling uncertain about what to ask recruiters after you give your 30-second elevator pitch?  The article below offers a great sampling of questions to consider.

Try to enjoy the experience.  Best of luck!

All the best,
