Career Fairs Frequently Asked Questions

Register for the WSU Career Expo and VCEA Technical Fair on Handshake. The fall 2022 fair is a hybrid event with a virtual fair on Handshake, 2-6 p.m., Monday, October 3 and an in-person fair in Beasley Coliseum, 12-4 p.m., Tuesday, October 4.

Google Chrome is the recommended browser. Make sure you allow pop-ups.

Students can register for the events until the start time on the day of the event.

The virtual fair will take place in Handshake. Students will arrange their meeting schedule in advance of the day. The virtual fair is not intended to be an interview, but rather to serve as an initial meeting like at an in-person event. Employers and students will be able to screen share and share materials.

Dress professionally. ASCC has a Career Cougar Closet where you can get professional clothing, if needed.

The Career Fair is your gateway to your future career and it’s important you start building your professional network in your freshman year by attending the fair. Attend the virtual fair to learn more about a company or meet with representatives in-person in Beasley Coliseum. Company representatives will answer your questions about careers in the industry, what the company looks for in an intern, whether or not they hire interns who are just starting their educational career, or any other question you might have about the company or the industry. Keep in mind that 80 percent of jobs happen because of networking and the career fair is the best place to start building your network.

In case you get cut off or audio/video doesn’t work, make sure you get the recruiter’s contact email so you can share your materials (resume, LinkedIn link, etc.).
