February 8, 2023 – Upcoming Events, Opportunities & Resources

The Government, Education, & Nonprofit Career Fair is just a week away, taking place on Friday, February 17, 10-3pm! Employers in the technology industry or hiring tech roles that have registered include, American Council for Technology – Industry Advisory Council, C4ADS, Capgemini Government Solutions, GAP Solutions, Inc., MGT, National Air and Space Intelligence Center, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, U.S. Government Accountability Office, and Schmidt Futures.

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,
