The spring semester’s Career Fairs are coming soon! Over four days, each targeted to different career pathways reflected in UNL majors, students and employers will meet and talk about a variety of opportunities. This year, the Education Career Fair will also be held on Feb. 26, connecting students with school districts and other employers. Employers have been registering for the Career Fair and setting up individual and group sessions for which students must sign up. The Career Fair, including registering and signing up for employer sessions, will again take place on the Handshake virtual platform. For more information on the Career Fair and Handshake visit https://go.unl.edu/virtualcareerfair.
To help students prepare for the virtual Career Fair, University Career Services is offering the Career Fair From Home Prep Event. Career Fair From Home welcomes employers and career coaches to address topics such as:
• Technical Steps, How-To’s and Troubleshooting
• Setting Up Yourself and Your Space for Success in a Virtual Fair
• Preparing for a 1:1 Session v. a 30 Minute Group Session
• Finding Employers of Interest and Deciding the Days to Attend
Each breakout session will be repeated successively for students to come and go to all in any order during the program. Following these breakout sessions will be the Closing Q&A and Employer Expectations Panel where employers answer any questions students may have about attending and making the most of the virtual Career Fair.
The Career Fair From Home Prep Event will be held Tuesday, Feb. 9, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and will be repeated Wednesday, Feb. 10, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Learn more about the Career Fair From Home Prep Event at https://careers.unl.edu/career-fair-from-home.
