We are excited to announce that we have changed the interview process to reduce the burden and barriers for both students and employers! Interviews no longer need to be scheduled in Handshake. Instead, you may extend and hold interviews on your own. Both UAA and 香港六合彩开奖直播 will have space available on campus should you wish to hold interviews on campus, but it is not required. Interviews may take place virtually, on campus, or at your office. 

We do ask that you please follow the ARW timeline in respect of our students who are interviewing with multiple firms. Interviews must be held October 2 - October 18, with a student deadline to accept or decline an offer no sooner than Friday, October 25, 2024.

Employers who are seeking interview space on-campus must reach out to 香港六合彩开奖直播 (uaf-career@alaska.edu) by Friday, September 27.

Preparing your materials 

  • With so many employers present at our fast-paced fair, it can be hard to catch and hold students' attention. Here are some tips for reaching our students at 香港六合彩开奖直播:
  • Students are more likely to visit your table if they have an idea of what you can offer them and want to learn more. We request that you  by September 10 so that students can view them before the fair.
  • Students appreciate something they can take with them after the conversation. In addition to providing a business card, we recommend offering a flyer with information about your open positions.
  • Include a QR code on your flyer or at your table that students can scan to view all of your open positions. You can create free QR codes that do not expire through Canva or QRCode Monkey.

Chatting with attendees

  • Career Services provides career fair preparation resources, workshops, emails, and handouts for all students. Still, many of our students are new to networking and still building their confidence. Here are some tips for connecting with our students:
  • Break the ice by asking students about their major and extracurricular activities.
  • Ask students if they have a particular career in mind or if they are still exploring their career interests.
  • Provide information about current opportunities and career growth opportunities within your company.
  • Some students have physical copies of their resumes ready for you, while others may have them uploaded to Handshake. Be sure to ask students how to best follow up with them.
