Handshake Fair Tips and FAQ
Employers are able to host two types of sessions to interact with students:
- Group Sessions: 30 minutes each, multiple students can attend
- 1:1 Sessions: 10 minutes each, one student and one employer representative can attend
In these sessions, employers will be identified as the Host, and they will be able to share their screen with participants.
Navigate to the “Your sessions” tab in the fair and you should see your sessions.
The employer may be having technical issues accessing the fair. We recommend looking at the employer’s profile and reaching out through Handshake or via email to follow-up with them.
If a student has incorrect time zones, have them check and set their system time zones on the device they are using to access the fair (right click clock on Windows, “set date/time”) and make sure time zones are set to update automatically as well. Once they do this, have them close and re-launch their browser and log back into Handshake.
- Yes! Students will be able to sign up to meet with employers in 1:1 and group sessions during a virtual fair, and employers will have access to these students’ resumes before and after the fair.
- Students will need to meet with an employer in order for their resume to be visible.
- Ensure you have the right set up to support your audio (required) and video (optional).
- Complete your profile
- Upload a resume to your profile, if you haven't already!
- Check out Handshake’s blog post for more tips on how to stand out in a virtual fair!
- Try the recommended browsers first, which are Chrome or Firefox.
- “Report a problem” option – Click “Settings” at the bottom right while in the session and select “Report a problem.”
- Connect with employers. Interact with recruiters through video, audio, or chat.
- Discover new career opportunities. Get personalized recommendations based on your Handshake profile for which employers to connect with.
- Never wait in line. Pre-schedule 1:1 or group sessions with employers ahead of the fair or on the day-of. (We recommend signing up to meet with the employers of your choice prior to the fair.)
