Pre-register for the Fair: Employers get a chance to prescreen applicants and possibly make note of, or message applicants they want to meet with, or interview at the fair. Pre-registering does not guarantee that you will get noticed or messaged by employers, but why would you not take advantage of such an easy step.
Research Registered Employers: Get a jump start by getting a list of the companies attending the fair and doing some research on each of the companies you want to connect with. With so much information about companies on the Web, there is no excuse not to do your homework.
Complete or Update Your Handshake Profile: Employers have the ability to view students’ profiles, so updating your resume and the For Employers Only section will allow you to stand out.
Attend Career Fair Prep Sessions: If you have never attended a virtual fair, need assistance completing your Handshake profile, or you need guidance on how to engage employers in a virtual fair.

If you need assistance registering for sessions or have any questions regarding the fair, email career@albany.edu or attend one of the Virtual Fair Facts https://albany.joinhandshake.com/events
