    We know this is likely your first ever virtual fair experience and you might be unsure how to prepare. Here are some resources to get you started:

    The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid’s annual UT Work-Study and Part-Time Job Fair helps students find part-time employment opportunities and connect with prospective employers. On-campus and approved non-profit off-campus employers will use the event to search for talented students to work part time this fall and spring, and some will hire on the spot.

    The fair is open to both full-time students and part-time students (enrolled in at least 6 hours). All students should upload their resume to their profile and students with Work-Study awards should have a PDF file format of their Work-Study Verification available to upload.

    What is a Virtual Career Fair?

    Virtual career fairs on Handshake give you the opportunity to meet recruiters and other employees through video sessions. You’ll learn more about employers hiring at UT and connect with companies that will want to hire you.

    Attending video sessions, instead of an in-person fair, means there is no waiting in line to talk to recruiters. When you register, you will sign up for specific session times—securing your spot to meet with the employers you’re interested in. There are two types of virtual fair sessions:

    Group sessions: During these sessions you’ll join other students to meet recruiters and other employees at the organization. You’ll learn about job and internship opportunities, company culture, and more. You’ll also have an opportunity to ask your own questions.

    PRO-TIP: Your profile privacy settings must be set to “Community” to participate in group sessions. If you prefer more private profile settings, we suggest you set your profile to “Community” for the fair and then switch it back to “Employer” or “Private” after.

    One-on-one sessions: This is an opportunity to chat directly with a recruiter or employee ambassador about jobs and internships. Recruiters that want to meet you will be able to invite you to attend virtual sessions with them, or you can sign up for sessions that have availability. You must meet employer criteria for 1:1 sessions.

    PRO-TIP: Your profile privacy settings must be set to “Employer” OR “Community” to participate in 1:1 sessions.

    Recruiters will likely review your profile before a session, so be sure to update your Handshake profile with your role and location preferences, as well as GPA, skills, organizations, and work experience! In many cases, recruiters will set qualifications for students so they are able to best connect with students who meet their organization’s needs. Make sure your profile is complete and detailed.
