5 Tips to Kickstart Your Career Fair Preparation

• Upload your most recent resume to Handshake that includes your summer activities; complete & update your UChicago Handshake profile.

• You'll have the opportunity to add your resume to the resume book if you'd like to have it shared with employers participating in the fair.

• Research employers ahead of the fair: check open positions on Handshake and employer's website, "follow" employers attending the fair and employers you want to check back in with, sign up for their newsletters to receive information on recruiting events & timelines.

• Identify UChicago alumni at the organization and start making connections before the fair.

• Create and practice your “elevator pitch.”

• Plan your business professional attire. The Beta Epsilon Chapter of UChicago's Alpha Kappa Psi developed the Professional Closet to provide free access to business formal attire for the entire UChicago Community to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to make a strong first impression in professional settings. Find the items you need on their website, add them to your cart, and return them after a week.
