The 2020 Fall Career Month is near and it's time for you to register! The ULM Career
Center host the all majors fair every semester for current ULM Students and Alumni.
Though Covid-19 has caused us to social distance, Handshake has provided the Virtual
Career Fair Experience to ensure you all have an opportunity to explore possible careers
and be recruited.
The virtual career fair experience is new to us all, so it will be crucial for you
to read all of the Career Center emails and watch any registration/recruitment tutorials
provided by Handshake.

Career Fair Ready:
As you attend the Career Fair, there are several things you need to know to be career-ready:
-
It is NOT a requirement, but you are highly encouraged to complete your Handshake Profile,
especially since we are using the virtual platform this year. Employers can search/review
your profile & resume on Handshake.
-
Be sure to review the employer list and research the companies that you've signed
up with before you meet with them
-
Be sure to upload your Professionally Reviewed Resume to your Handshake profile or have it ready to send to employers by email, in case
they ask for it. You can get your resume professionally reviewed by the ULM Career
Center by appointment only, due to COVID-19. Please be advised that September is our Career Month so our office hours may be
limited due to events and workshops.
-
DRESS CODE VIRTUALLY = BUSINESS CASUAL. Though you will be speaking with employers virtually, you want to dress and look
the part. If your bottom half does not match the top half be mindful of your camera
view.
-
Limit all distractions. During your One-on-One sessions, make sure to have a clean background, limit noise,
& make sure you have a good internet connection.
If you have any questions about how to navigate your Handshake account or about the
career fair, please call the ULM Career Center at 318-342-5338 or email careercener@ulm.edu
