  • Resumania held Wednesday, February 5, from 1 to 4 p.m., in the Nebraska Union, is an event where students can have their resume reviewed by an employer or a Career Coach.
  • University Career Fairs are a place to meet recruiters from over 100 organizations.
    • Day 1: Tuesday, February 11, from 1 to 5 p.m., in the Nebraska Union
      Opportunities within Business, Social and Human Services, Agricultural and Natural Resources, Government and Nonprofit
    • Day 2: Wednesday, February 12, from 1 to 5 p.m., in the Nebraska Union

In addition to Resumania, your student can prepare for the fairs by taking a few steps ahead of the event:
  • Register to attend the University Career Fair through Handshake (https://its.unl.edu/myunl).
  • Download the new Career Fair Plus App where they will find a list of participating employers, their specific location at the fair and information on their opportunities and organization.
  • Apply for positions posted through Handshake (https://its.unl.edu/myunl).
  • Work with a Career Coach to prepare a personal introduction, identify employers of interest and develop networking strategies. Appointments are available through MyPlan under Career Development on their My Success Network page.
Career Services staff are promoting these opportunities and coaching students on how to prepare for the Career Fair and so can you. Let your student know about these events and strategies to help them successfully connect with employers on campus.
