Preparing for a Career Fair

With the Fall 2021 Virtual Career Fairs coming up, there’s still plenty of time to prepare to chat with top employers in many different industries! Whether that means figuring out what your Handshake profile still needs, brushing up on your video interview etiquette, or researching the employers you’re most interested in, the Career Center has you covered with helpful tips.
