Virtual Fair Schedule

Uncertain times require a different approach to career fairs. Below are some of the changes made to the UNO career fair line-up for Fall 2020. Spring 2021 details will be released at a later date.

• All fall fairs will be virtual using Handshake's new virtual fair platform. Students will be able to interact one-to-one with employers as well as in group sessions.
• Employer registration fees for the fall will be waived. Hire Mavs and we'll call it even :)
• Fairs will be scattered throughout the semester to accommodate changing employer hiring needs and busy student schedules. Additionally an "all majors fair" is added for November.
• The Business and IT fair will be combined into one virtual career fair date.
• Upon registration approval, please set your career fair schedule to include group sessions and 1:1 meetings. We highly encourage a mix of both as well as NOT limiting your interactions to select majors. The chart below indicates when students will be allowed to sign-up for conversation slots. It would be wise to set your schedule prior to this date.

Overview of Virtual Fairs & Support

ACDC will be using Handshake's virtual career fair platform to host all fairs this fall.

At a Handshake virtual career fair, students can learn about employers and share their profile in intimate group sessions or get 1:1 facetime with recruiters—all from their browser or Handshake’s mobile app. Each employer will be able to schedule the following during each virtual career fair:

• Five 30-minute group meetings that accommodate up to 50 students each. Multiple recruiters can attend, talk with students, and share their screen.
• 10-minute 1:1 meetings with students hosted by up to 15 recruiters. Each recruiter can set their own schedule and choose qualifications students must meet to attend.

Employers will be able to see profiles and public resumes, as well as message the students they engage at the fair, making it easy to prepare for and follow up on all of their sessions. You can read more about the employer scheduling process here. 

Students and employers will have access to video, audio, and text-based chat during these meetings, enabling the personal connection of in-person fairs in a virtual, accessible setting.
