Although career fairs may look different this year, we are no less excited for you to connect with DePaul students and alumni! Employers, prepare yourself for success at our upcoming virtual fairs by following these steps:
1. Set up your sessions schedule
This virtual fair will take place entirely on Handshake.
All Handshake virtual fairs have two options for employer-student engagement:
- 30 minute Info Sessions
- 10 minute 1:1 Sessions
At this time, these are the only options for Handshake virtual fairs.
***This means you MUST set up your sessions schedule in order to participate.***
HOW TO SET UP YOUR SESSION SCHEDULE
2. Test your video today
Handshake Virtual Fairs include a robust video chat platform. Data from our previous virtual career fair indicates that students want to meet with employers via video!
Handshake uses Twilio for their video hosting.
TEST YOUR VIDEO IN ADVANCE HERE
If your company’s firewall does not allow you to use Handshake/Twilio’s video, you may use your own (Zoom, GoToMeeting, Skype, etc). Please test your video in advance to see if this is required for you.
*It is your responsibility to test your own video in advance of the career fair and to make adjustments as needed.*
