Camp Careers

Virtual Career Fairs

• Update your resume and upload to Handshake. Be sure to make it public so potential employers are able to view it. 
• Complete your Handshake profile. Ensure your GPA is visible (uncheck “hide from employers”) and your work authorization status is updated. (settings > privacy).
• Set your profile visibility to Community or Employer. This allows you to schedule 1:1 sessions and group sessions.
• Sign up for sessions. Participating in a virtual career fair has two steps. After registering, do not forget to sign up for sessions with employers you are interested in. 
• Research employers who are attending the fair. Researching the employers prior to the Career Fair will give you the chance to learn more about the opportunities the company has to offer. 
• Create questions specific to the companies and positions of interest. This step not only helps you get the most out of your Career Fair experience, but also shows your true interest to the employers.
• Check back for available sessions frequently. Employers may update their sessions and schedules throughout the time prior to the Career Fair. Be sure to stay up to date and not miss out on any opportunities.
• Prioritize employers you are most interested in. "Follow" employers you’re interested in within the fair to be notified when additional sessions are available.
• Practice your Elevator Pitch. An elevator pitch is a quick speech about yourself and what you bring to the table. You only get one chance to make a first impression, so practice your pitch until it comes naturally. 
• Meet with a Career Counselor. It is very important to meet with a career counselor to practice your elevator pitch, review your resume, and get any last minute advice you may need.
• Test your technology. Technology can be complicated sometimes. Be sure to be familiar with the technology you are using, It is recommended that you use Google Chrome if possible. Utilize Handshake’s Video Requirements & Troubleshooting for Students if needed.

In Person Career Fairs

• Remember why you are there! Career Fairs are exciting for many reasons. Remember that you are not there for the free swag only. You are also there to meet with potential employers and invest in your career. The Career Fair gives you an opportunity to explore different career options and majors that align with careers. You will begin networking when meeting representatives, which is important in helping you to reach your career pals, so ask lots of questions to find out about majors that are being recruited for particular careers, job shadowing or internship opportunities.
• Research companies and positions in advance. It is always impressive when you know about the company you are speaking to. It shows your interest and that you take initiative. Review the Directory for companies and organizations attending.
• Prepare your resume. Have your resume tailored to perfection when you meet with potential employers. It is highly recommended to have a resume review appointment with a career counselor beforehand. 
• Meet with a career counselor. The Career Counselors at NSU are equipped to help you with all your professional needs. Meeting with one is highly recommended prior to the fair. You can utilize Career Services through mock interviews, a headshot photo, business cards, resume review, career path questions, and more!
• Practice your Elevator Pitch. An elevator pitch is a quick speech about yourself and what you bring to the table. You only get one chance to make a first impression, so practice your pitch until it comes naturally. 
• Create questions specific to the companies and positions of interest. This step not only helps you get the most out of your Career Fair experience, but also shows your true interest to the employers.
• Collect business cards and contact information. Be sure to collect contact information from employers that interest you so you are able to follow up with them and contact them for more information.
• Follow up with employers you met. Touching base with potential employers after the Career Fair is always a great idea. A follow up email thanking them for their time shows your interest and keeps you at the forefront of their mind. 
• Dress to impress. You only get to make one first impression, so it is important to make a good one. Check out Career Services’ Pinterest page for outfit inspiration.
• Attend a Career Fair Prep Series or watch the recordings. Hop on our 30-minute Zoom Session as our NSU Career Counselors tell you all you need to know about preparing for the Career Fair.
