Handshake's Guide to Attending a Virtual Fair

Virtual fairs offer an incredible opportunity to connect with employers from wherever you may be. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or joining for the first time, this guide will provide you with essential tips and strategies to make the most of your experience!

FAQ's

Will students be able to submit their resumes to employers? Without joining sessions?

  • Yes! When students sign up to meet with employers in 1:1 and/or group sessions, they're added to a RSVPs list, and employers will have access to these students’ public resumes (featured on profile) before and after the fair. Refer to Understanding Document Visibility for more details and steps to quickly change visibility.

Will students who live internationally be able to participate?

  • There are no restrictions by location, so as long as the student has logged into Handshake, they'll be able to participate.

Will students, employers and career staff have access to transcripts of the chats they had during the virtual fair?

  • Yes! At the end of the session, click the download icon located in the lower-right corner of the chat to download the chat.
