Welcome everyone, I think we'll give it just a couple of more minutes. Lot of people are still joining. If people can hear me, If you could just, hope people could just say that in the chat box, that would be great to make sure that everyone can hear me. Perfect. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Okay. I think we'll go ahead and get started and let more people join, do some introductions, see it to kick things off here. So I want to welcome everybody and thanks for for joining us this afternoon. So my name is Kim Swartz. I'm the Manager of Employee Relations at Cornell Career Services. And I am joined by a guest presenter today, Erin O'Keefe, who is a Product Manager, from Handshake, she's going to be doing a live demo for us today. So thanks very much to Erin for spending some time with all of us at Cornell this afternoon. Yup, happy to be here. All right lets go ahead and dig in. Ok. So some goals that we want to accomplish today. So share some best practices for engagement at a career fair. Introduce our career that platform Handshake. Most, if not all of you are familiar with Handshake, but we have not used Handshake as our career fair platform before. Prepare you to develop a strategy for success and refer you to other resources. Okay? So we share the Career Development Model at all of our workshops. And we like to start our workshops with this because it really does define the way we approach career support at Cornell University. Our Career Development Model is a circular process, is, as you can see by lots of arrows here, involves Understanding Yourself, Exploring Options, Taking Action. I think it's useful for you to know which section of the Career Development Model you're in when you're engaging with us. And when we're when we're preparing for a career fair it certainly is Taking Action. So you're in that Take Action sort of that, that red phase of, of the model. And so to Take Action at a, at a career fair could be something like, you know, trying to get a summer internship, for instance, or Taking Action to get a full-time position after graduation. Your most successful at this stage, at the take Action Phase. If you've gone through some steps to understand yourself, to think about what are your interests, your values, your strengths, your goals. And to think about exploring options. Have you taken some courses, done some networking, engage in some activities that might help you test some of those interests, values, strengths, and goals to kind of see where I'm going here, rights, we're moving through the model. And then once you've had an opportunity to think a little bit about understanding yourself, some introspection, exploring some options, then that helps you prepare your materials, maybe your resume and your talking points that you're going to need to use as something like a career fair or networking event or something like that. I am remiss at the beginning and I should have shared with people that were going to hold questions until the end. And let's use the chat box. So if you have questions, pop them in the chat. My, my hope is that we'll spend at least half of the time we have together today answering questions. So our next slide talks a little bit about, you know, so virtual career fairs, right? So what's the same and what's different? So employers are attending to acquaint you with them as potential employers. So that's the same. They also are looking to learn something about you, how you might be a good addition to their workforce. And then also what similar as what you're looking to learn about employers. That's the same regardless of it's in-person or its virtual. So you're going in basically with the same goals regardless virtual in-person. What's different? Obviously, if you're not in person, you're not shaking hands, you're not standing in long lines. And you'll be engaging with employers through video conversations versus face-to-face in-person. We're hoping that you haven't it, that it's a better and more efficient use of your time because you can sign up in advance for one-on-ones and group meetings with employers and potentially you interact with a greater number of employers and and the same amount of time or less time than you would in an in-person fair? So here's a list of the top ten attributes that employers are seeking in their entry level employees. I think it's important for you to understand. Looking at this particular list. There is something on that list. There isn't I shouldn't say there is nothing on that list that's specific to a particular major at Cornell or anywhere else. You can develop any of these skills and, in all kinds of ways through maybe a sports team, through volunteer things that you do through coursework, through clubs. It doesn't have to be directly related to your major. And so the important thing for you to do is to be thinking about how are you going to present these particular skills to employers in a convincing way. So telling your story with some evidence to back it up, to show how, how you have these skills and how you can use them if you were to join their organization. Now, you will find some employers. There'll be posting specific job opportunities that they're recruiting for. And in that case, you'll be able to see if there are some things that might be more major related than these general skills. And you'll certainly want to be prepared to talk about those things. So this list, this visual or the Career Readiness Competencies. So the top attribute list that we just looked at from the prior slide is related to this list of Career Readiness Competencies. And actually they were both developed by the National Association of Colleges Employers, which is a national professional organization for career offices and employers. So a Cornell Career Services we belong to NACE, we belong to this professional organization. Employers have said these are the things that they need to see a new hires for them to be competent for taking charge of their career development. So we see critical thinking, problem-solving, and gt teamwork, digital technology professionalism. So there's obviously some overlap between the top skills on the prior slide, but organized a little bit differently on this slide. And then you can see these last two, career management and global and until intercultural fluency, easy for me to say. Those are things that I think were not represented on the prior slide. Career management means a lot about how you behave as a professional. It's related professionalism, work and work ethic. But it's also about how you take responsibility for your career advancement. Obviously, employers are going to be paying attention to that too. But, it's your responsibility to take charge of yourself and to manage your career. And so employers are interested to see how you can bring that to the workplace. And then global and intercultural fluency is increasingly important in our complex world today. So what do you need for the fair? You need to prioritize the list of employees you want to me, you're going to want to follow them. We're going to show that in the demo how to follow an employer on Handshake. You're going to register for the fair and Handshake. If you haven't already done that, you can sign up for group, enter a one-on-one sessions with employers. You're going to think about what are some of the questions you're going to want to ask representatives for, perhaps some of those prepared in your mind going into your conversations. Also some questions you might be asked by an employer. So maybe some examples of student question might be, what opportunities do you have for graduates with a degree in civil engineering? I read your company just started a project doing X. What opportunities with an intern have in this project? What do you like most about your job and working for ABC company? I'm a first year student. What courses should I take at Cornell that helped me prepare for a career and your organization? And what are some questions an employer might ask you? What types of positions are you interested in? Are you seeking? How's your previous work experience relevant to a position in our company? What are your career goals? And an a question I think is super important that everybody should be able to answer is, why are you interested in our organization that's really important to that employer? And we'll show a slide later in the presentation. If you're not already in Canvas, have self enrolled in the Career Development Toolkit. There's of course in their called Career Development Toolkit with all kinds of modules from how to how to interview, resumes, cover letters, and there's an entire module on virtual career fairs. And within that module you'll find a list of questions you could ask an employer. Also think about, you know, what's your, what's your standard reading going to be? How are you going to introduce yourself? What's your pitch going to be with an employer? You're going to want to have a solid resume. You gotta want to upload that into Handshake and you're going to want one of your resume because you can have multiple resumes in your Handshake profile. But your going to want one of them to be visible. So that employers will be able to see that. You're going to want to complete your Handshake profile is as much as possible and you want to have a follow-up plan for after the fair. So now we're going to ask Erin to give us a live demo. And Erin to be honest here, I don't know what I'm going to need to do. What's what happens for you to take over. Okay let's get situated here. It says, I can't start screen-sharing while the other participant is sharing, so you might need to stop first. Got it. Okay, perfect. And I'm not able to share my, my own video right now, my face, but I'm smiling and talking live right now, just so everyone knows. And I'm going to share my screen , can you see my screen Okay? Okay. Yeah, perfect. So as Kim mentioned, I'll be talking through a demo of the virtual fair experience from a student perspective. And I know Kim gave a short overview of our introduction to my role by I I do work at Handshake. I've worked here for three years and currently a Product Manager here. But before Handshake, I was actually a recruiter with Deloitte Consulting and I participated in a lot of real life campus recruiting, virtual fairs as a recruiter as well. So just really happy to be a part of this presentation today. I'll, I'll go through this presentation here and I'll, I'll pause at a certain point to check out any questions that we have coming in here. By just making sure again, Kim, you can still hear me and see my screen. I can. Yeah. Okay. I haven't seen anything that students so I think we're good. Okay I think we're good to go. So I am sharing my my home screen when you login to Handshake, you should see something similar here in terms of where you can see upcoming events and virtual fairs that's under your kind of events tab or page here. Many of you have likely already signed up for your virtual fair. But if you're still looking for upcoming events and fairs that will be under the Events tab or your Career Services team likely markets those out in emails and you may have registered through an email as well. But when you come across a virtual fair, even before you click to register for that fair, you can see some basic information about the fair itself, when, when the date is the key contact for that fair. And then also the list of employers who are attending, who are participating in the fair. When you go to an employer's profile in Handshake there, they'll look different from one another. But I, I definitely recommend using employer profiles as a way to research and employer before any event and especially before a fair as well. Just to see the overview that the employer provided. You can even see reviews left by other students who may have participated in internships with that employer to get kind of a appear students perspective on experiences there. And you can also, in this example, there aren't jobs posted with this employer, but you'll, you will also be able to see jobs currently available with that employer. And if there are public staff members, you'll see a public Staff list as well here. Finally, it will link out to the employer's website itself. So I know Kim already brought up this really, really good points of doing research beforehand and coming prepared. When I was a recruiter, attending fairs. As a recruiter, it really stood out to me when a student was prepared and ready to say, hey, I understand that Deloitte Consulting has three branches in human capital, technology and strategy and operations. I'm interested in human capital and here's why. And they had that pitched ready because they did this type of research on a profile page like this. So definitely wanted to call that out. Just doing your research on the profile beforehand. You can also something Kim alluded to as well. You can click the follow button that I'm circling right now to follow an employer. If you follow it employer you will receive automatic e-mails if they if they post new events, if they post new jobs at your school. And also, you can, if an employer hasn't created their schedule yet for virtual fair, you can follow that employer and receive an email once their schedule is created. So following an employer's good way just for you to kind of save them and keep tabs on them and know when they're doing new activity and Handshake. So that's just that's the just the getting started portion of this is just doing research on the employers themselves. Now I'm going to walk through registering for a fair and signing up for sessions and then I'll talk through what it looks like on the day of the fair. So the first step, of course, is to register for the actual fair. So I'm going to click this kind of blue, purple eggplant to register button. And as soon as I clicked that, that's basically my RSVP to the fair day itself. But I can't participate unless I actually sign up for individual employer sessions. So that's what this kind of pop-up screen is all about. It's prompting me to view available group and one-on-one sessions with employers, and to sign up for those sessions. And that the prompt is very exciting here and kind of really encouraging you to sign up sooner rather than later. I will say that you can certainly sign up on the day of the fair. It's, it's a good idea if you know you want to interact with certain employers, like yes, sign up now and sign up for sessions now with certain employers. But you can still sign-up for employers during the fair itself. So some students do wait til the day of the fair and even during the fair to sign up for sessions. And that is OK. That is still possible. But I want to get ahead of the game. I want to be extra prepared, so I'm going to sign up for some one-on-one sessions and group sessions now, so I'll click here to view employer sessions. And this takes me to the fair that I'm already registered for the sessions, the employer sessions that are available to me for that fair. And I can use the keyword search bar. I can use filters based on that opportunities available with that employer. Or I can just scroll down to look at the list of employers available. Right now for the sphere, there's only two, but you will likely see a lot more than that. And as I look through, as they look through the different employer, employers, I can see the name of the employer, the description of the employer. So this one is pretty short into the point learning about their leadership program. And then I can click if it says one-on-one with a company, that means they have one-on-one sessions available to connect with representative of that company for a one-on-one, 10-minute session that I can sign up for. So I'll talk through signing up through that first and then I'll talk through signing up for a group session. But to sign up for a one-on-one session, I'll click this link here. And then it will show me the representatives available for one-on-one sessions. Sometimes there will just be one representative that that certainly happens. And sometimes usually for bigger companies, there can be multiple representatives. Could be up to like dozens. There's the employer wanted to, they they likely wouldn't do that. But if there are multiple representatives open for one-on-ones at at an employer, I would recommend checking to see if they have a title filled it out here. This is the representatives title that they are fill out an Handshake. And I know some employers tried to be very clear in their title to show what line of work they're working in. So maybe I am really interested in marketing. So I do want to make sure I talk with with Jim because he I see he's the Marketing Manager here. So I will, I'm deciding to click this 9:10 time option button to connect with, with Mark during this time. And so I want to sign up for this one-on-one session. I'll click confirm. I get this pop up here telling me I successfully registered and I also know that I successfully registered because on the right hand side of my screen there is a panel showing me the sessions that I'm signing up for as I sign up for them. And then I'll just go through one other flow in signing up for sessions before I'll pause for questions. But another type of session you can sign up for is a group session. So whereas one-on-one sessions are just to you and one other employee representative. And the time the time block for that, as you can see here, it's ten minutes. Group sessions are optional for employers to host. And they're, they're pretty self-explanatory, but they at the group sessions host up to 50, 5-0 students. Actually be even more if they, if they, if they want to go beyond that limit and use, and use and like redirect you to zoom or a different platform. But typically at the maximum is 50 students, up to 50 students could participate. And it, it's it can take a variety of formats. Some employers like to have a like open Q & A and ask me anything, meet and greet. Or it could be like a PowerPoint presentation info session with Q & A after. So those are the different, the different formats we see for the group sessions. And as you can see here, the timeframe for group sessions, instead of being ten minutes, it's 30 minutes for the group session options. So I do want to check out a group session with the O'Keeffe company. And I'm going to first look at the titles. There's two titles here. One is the consulting information session and one is an accounting information session. Let's say I, I'm interested in pursuing consulting, so I'm going to click this one here. And I'll see, I'll see description of the, of this group session itself. So the description for this group session is connect with recent alumni about consulting opportunities. That sounds great. I'm excited to connect. So I'll click confirm. And I get this pop up again, confirming that I have registered. And now this is this is showing up in my schedule. I will call out and then I promise I will pause for questions before I go on to like the day of the fair experience. But I will call out that Handshake will not double book, but the hinge it will not let you double book yourself with overlapping sessions. So I'll try to find, yep, here's an example here. If I try to do sign up for another 9:10 session, even though I already signed up for one with this company. I can see this red dot here that shows I'm already booked during that time. And if I try to click to join, there is a call out saying I have conflicting sessions. So Handshake will not let you double book if you sign up for one-on-one and group sessions as well, but those are the time blocks you are committed for. So that's just something to be extra aware of, is that the spots are ultimately limited. So I would just recommend being extra thoughtful about the time you're, you're reserving here. Especially if other students, if you're interested in that employer as well. So that's a lot of information. Kim I wasn't looking at the chat yet, but are there any questions on your end that you want to call out before I go till a kind of day of the fair experience. I was muted. Do you hear me now Erin? I do, yes. Everyone, that's that's the way the world with zooming meeting, you're on mute. So there was an earlier question from the early part of the presentation. Someone said, "Can I register and talk to employers if I'm only beginning my program and only in the first, second steps of that Career Develop Model?" Absolutely. Because part of your research is going to be meeting, a company and letting them know that your first-year student, your just beginning your program and you want to learn about what are the strengths and the skills that they're looking for them that will help you prepare going forward. And that's specifically to your part of the presentation Erin. And we have someone tried to sign up for one-on-one sessions for all the civil engineering firms? They were all fall. Is that an issue? Will more sessions be made available. Yeah. I can start speaking to this and then Kim feel free to chime in. Feel free to chime in it as well. It is possible I have seen employers add reps as demand increases if they see a session's filling up. Another, another aspect of this too, is it's possible that the recruiter added like ten reps to participate on the day of the fair. And it's on the reps end they kind of need to what we call claim their schedule like acknowledge Yes, I'm coming yes, I'm available during those times. So it's possible that some of these firms have reps who just like haven't confirmed availability yet, so to speak. So I would say yes, continue to keep an eye out for more one-on-ones and just general sessions opening up. But Kim also turn it over to you to share any additional information here? Yeah. So I would say that that that's directionally correct, right? I think at Cornell. This is our first Handshake career fair. Many of our employers have done Handshake career fairs at other schools. So we are communicating continuously with our employers. And as we see, maybe if an employer hasn't realized that their schedules totally filled up, we may be able to reach on probably will reach out and say, Just wanted to let you know if you haven't noticed there's a high demand. You may want to consider some more slots. And I would encourage a student who can't get a one-on-one to get into one of the group ones you want to get in front of that employer, regardless of its one-on-one for ten minutes or in a group session for 30 minutes, you're going to get that contact, you're going to make that connection and you can follow up because follow-up will be as important as that one-on-one, if you will. And then Erin, did you also say if you so if you're following that employer and if the schedule opened, new schedule does opened, your gonna get a ping so you can go right in and sign up. I believe I might have to loop back with you on that, Kim, because I believe you get a ping once they set up the original schedules. I'm not sure if you get an email every time a new rep. I don't think you are. I think it's more like when the first schedule it is. Actually Yep. Yep. So I would want to know. Okay. Yep. I'd recommend just keeping an eye out and checking back on the available sessions page. Yeah. If you really want to go schedule keeping your eye on it. That's exactly right. There's another student who asked, can you cancel session if you have to or want to sign up for a different session. And I might add, how do you do that? Totally, Yep. I was I was ready to demo that actually, so on I understand that happens. You sign up for something maybe weeks in advance and you realize that was an accident or you need to rearrange your time. Also, you all are still in school and you have school things to do so. Completely understand that that happens. Again would just call out. I would recommend canceling sooner rather than later. Again, just out of respect to other folks participating in the fair. If you do need to cancel, in order to cancel a times slot, you can click your schedule tab here. And this shows all of the schedules. It shows like all the time slots you have available throughout the day. So you can see I have a one-on-one at 9:10 and I have a group session at 10:00 let's say I and it's starting in two months. So I had plenty of time. Lets say I want to cancel my one-on-one at this time because actually have an exam during that time. So I can click this, the slot here, and you can see this blue, blue link that says cancel, reservation. And Handshake does check. Again because time is important. Are you sure you want to cancel this session? And then you can also actually send a note to let the representative know why you're canceling and submit that in order to cancel. All right. Thanks. Thanks. Looks like all questions so far. Okay. So the next portion I wanted to talk through here is the experience on the day of the fair. So I will talk through a couple of things here. One thing to highlight is the fair happens in Handshake. So you signed up and Handshake, you register for sessions and Handshake and you will be in Handshake on the day of the fair launching your, your videos in Handshake. So I'd just like to make that very clear. If for especially if you're not used to going to Handshake to be in an actual fair. On the day of the fair, when you sign into Handshake, there will actually be a green banner that appears at the top of your screen here. That will say, Hey, you have a fair today. And you will then be able to click a link to take you to your schedule. So I did just want to call out that will appear at the top of your screen. You'll also get an automatic reminder from Handshake about a fair happening that day. But once you do, I'm just going to go back to the fair itself. Once you do, click that, that length on the green banner, click from your email to just get to your schedule. You will want to live on your schedule on the day of the fair. And how the connections with employers work is. It happens through launching videos for each time slot you are signed up for. So you can see here for my one-on-one from 9:10 to 9:20, on the day of the fair. This button will, will turn blue. And I'll be able to click this button to basically kind of like start to zoom meeting to join a video session for the fair. I will say it's not actually zoom, it's, it's a video integrated within Handshake. But you will you will participate in this video from 9:10 to 9:20. Once that one-on-one session has wrapped up, you will leave this video and then maybe in this instance you don't have another meeting until 10:00. So at 10:00, you'll want to be ready to join the separate video, to join a group session from 10:00 to 10:30. So it's not one long video that you're in, but rather separate videos that you're launching for each kind of session time slots that you have signed up for. And I'm going to pause my screen for a second. I'm going to switch. I'm going to pull up a screen here to kind of like to kind of show what it looks like on the day of the fair to launch that video. If any other questions come in, please feel free to share them, but just going to get through. So Erin there was a question I think that went to Q & A and we've been using the Chat. Got it. Yeah. Is no worries. Students. What are the benefits and downsides for one-on-one versus group? Have you seen those? Great question? Okay. So in terms of my conversations with Career Services teams, I've heard that group sessions. You can think of group sessions as kind of like a lightweight way to participate in the fair. If, especially if you haven't been if you haven't participated in career fairs in the past and if you're feeling like I maybe am not super ready with my elevator pitch or ready for like the one-on-one directed time. Maybe you want to start out with a, with a group session and have it be more kind of informational and I'm, I'm learning and it might be a bit more casual and not the, not all the focus is on me. Verses one-on-ones like you will absolutely need to speak in a one-on-one session like you will want to be very prepared and ready to have that one-on-one conversation. I will say though, group sessions, the number of participants in a group sessions is totally dependent on how many students sign up for it. So I wouldn't I wouldn't say like expect to just go to group session and chill out the whole time, like still be prepared because maybe only four students go to that group session and you'll still want to participate and engage. But yeah, that's, that's kinda like my general sense from what I've heard from school teams this year. And like Kim, if you want to add to that, please feel free to do so. Yeah. So actually that ties in well with a question that that also got put into the Q&A verses in the chat and I had missed it. So for a students that's a first year student doesn't have real robust resume. Yet they're wondering does it make sense to attend a career fair. I would say yes, I think it's a great way to meet employers and find out what is it they're looking for. What are the, what are the skill sets what are the strengths they look for in their employees? And to your point, Erin, it might be a great way to go to a group session and a couple of group session for first-year student to get the feel for what a career fair is all about so to speak, and hear some of the questions that. Maybe a junior or senior is asking from an employer. Totally. I like that a lot kind of learning from your peers, learning the ropes and then, and then going from there on in, in the, in person, Fair? I always recommend to pressure students the same thing. While you're in the lime, listen to all the conversations that are happening around you. Think the benefit of this online forum, this virtual forum is you can be part of a group session? Totally. Yep. Agreed. And I do Kim, I do see a question from from June here that I do want to address. I'm actually I have a I have my video ready yet. It does expire, so I'm going to show the video day of fair demo first and then definitely want to go through more questions, but I did want to demo this. So are you seeing a new screen right now? That's okay. Perfect. So when I pause the demo I had walked through on the day of the fair, you're going to be on your schedule. And at the time of each of your interactions, you're going to click join video. Once you click the buy in joint video, you're taken to a page like this one where you can can you see my face right now? Okay, great. See me now. You can play with your settings here to indicate if you want your video on . It is up to you and students have different reasons for wanting their video off. So it's up to your comfort level. Typically, we have seen the videos on especially for one-on-one sessions, but again, totally respect the preference of the student. So you can keep your video on, turn it off, you're on, you're automatically muted, but you can unmute yourself. You can also, and this is, you have not joined the interaction yet. This is kind of like your test landing page. You can click these three buttons here to just check where your, where your audio's coming from. If you're using a headset and maybe you just want to make sure the sound is coming from the right spot. You can check the inputs from here. Same thing, same thing with your video. And also too if you, if you are having issues for whatever reason, you can click this button to report a problem. And this does go straight to our technical support team to investigate. I will note though, that like 95% of the time, the problem, the issue is that students weren't using Chrome or Safari are the key, the key browsers that, that work. So I'll just call that out here. That's like my number one troubleshooting tip. But if you're still experiencing issues, you can submit a report here. If you're feeling good and if you've tested things out you and ready to actually see the employer now, you can then click this button that says Join video. And then I'll show my, I'll show my camera gun here. But in the actual fair experience, the employers face will be big and your face will be little for one-on-one, for example. So but right now it's just me, so I only see my face. So I'm going to turn off my video again. For both group sessions and one-on-one sessions, there is this icon here that has the the, the chat functionality. I all say, as you can tell that this is primarily a video platform. It like that is, that is the key way to interact here. The chat functionality is more supplemental. I've seen it used more frequently in group sessions if there's a lot of students and the employer has like wants to collect Q&A through chat. So if you do use the chat functionality in a group session, just, I would just say be aware that other students can see your response, your questions and your responses in the chat. But you can, you can also use it in a one-on-one session, a use case for using the chat and a one-on-one session. It can be more for exchanging information. Like if the recruiter wants to share a resource site or, or, or their email address up to them if they want to share that. I know I know that varies. They might send it through the chat. And one thing I would just say here is if they do send it through the chat, just make sure to grab the resource or information from the chat. That does go away once the, once the session is over. So that's what the chat looks like here. The employer, this is actually the employer view that I'm showing you right now because I I'm able to launch it on the employer side so the employer sees the same thing. They will also, they also have the power to turn on whether the, whether or not to give you the ability for students to raise their hands during group sessions. So that can be an option for employers. And then in group sessions they can click this to see the full list of session attendees. But those are more kind of employer aspects. I'd say. The main thing for you to be aware of is there is video. You can turn it on or off, there is sound of course. You can mute or unmute. And there is chat to use either for group, usually for group, but also for one-on-one sessions. At the end so one-on-one sessions or ten minutes group sessions are 30 minutes. Handshake does not kick you out of the session, so there's not a hard stop. So if you go over by minutes even you can still be in that interaction with an employer till leave the session. You do have to choose to, to, to leave the session. Or the employer can also end the session. That's something that's something that I would say to be aware of your schedule since Handshake does not kick you out of your sessions. However, we do have a one-minute warning pop up that appears on the screen, so we we give you some, some warning. But still a general you'll just want to be aware of your schedule for that day. Okay. I'll pause again. Kim. Do I me to read out June's questioner? Yes. So I see the question here. Basically asking about one-on-one basically in an interview. I would say yes and a lot of ways it is, right? It's an interaction that's that first impression. You may be answering some key questions that the employer uses to bring information back to their colleagues. And it is part of giving you guidance on how to move through a process to secure an internship or full-time opportunity with a company. Agree. Okay. Perfect. I think that looks like the questions that we've had, so that's great. We've been able to, to capture those. Write papers. How should we dress formal or business casual? I would say business casual is fine being aware that it's still as an interaction, basically an informal interview, if you will. Okay, let see. So any steps sharing. So maybe we'll pop back to the presentation and the presentation, yep, sorry. I ended that kinda abruptly. You're good, you're Good. It's oops, that's not where I wanted to be. That's where I wanted to be. Okay. Alright, so hopefully you all see the Handshake Demo slide again. Video here. Okay, so the next several slides actually are, there we go. Basically just a resource slides that are are things that Erin covered in the live demo. And so Erin, if you happen to see anything here that we didn't cover in the live demo that you want to add something to, just let me know and I'll pause. I think we covered these topics. There is one slide about the prompt around your profile visibility. Kim, do you want me to speak to that a little bit? The privacy question? Yep. Yeah. That'd be great. Yes. Yep. So in Handshake, you have control over how visible you want your profile to be to others and Handshake. Your profile can be at the, the, the broadest visibility level, which has the most benefits in terms of the network aspect of Handshake. So that's what we call the community level. If your, if your privacy setting is at the community level, that means other students on Handshake and other employers can see your profile. And you can see you and in your name essentially for to participate in group sessions. Because by nature in group sessions, other students will see you and your name. You will need to have your, your profile visibility at the, at the community level. For one-on-one sessions, you, you will need to have your profile visibility at least at the employer level, which is that other option on the screen there. And that again is just by nature of one-on-one session and employer is seeing you and in your name. You can, most students already have kind of that, that highest level of visibility on Handshake right now. If you don't, you'll see a prompt that looks like this one. It's totally up to you. You can change your privacy setting before the fair, you can change it after the fair. But you might see a prompts like this. If you ever want to change it back. There is in your settings, a Settings and Privacy section where you can update that at anytime. Perfect, great, thanks so much, appreciate. Okay. We covered all these in the demo, all was great Okay, so here's just some tips for following up after the fair. It's great that you got prepared. It's even better that you attended the fair. Now you'll want t make sure to close the deal, right? So following up after the fair. So some some ways you can do that through a Handshake. You can file their company profiles so you receive notifications are in productivity at Cornell, messaging other students that have worked for an employer or a publicly listed point of contact for the company. You could respond to the employer message it might receive because of your interaction during the fair, you could apply for an actual job posting within Handshake already. And employers may be asking you, Are you aware there's a posting? I encourage you to apply to the position, something like that. Participate in an interview schedule if one is developed off of a job posting and also attending events of particular importance, we have info sessions, workshops like this, plenty of events are listed in Handshake and that's the key way and Career Services that we communicate to all of the students about events that are coming up. So engaging after the fair. What sessions did you attend? So basically, Erin, remind me, I don't know, did you did you show this? I don't want to go into great detail, did you show this during the demo? I did show the events, Events page, but not specific filters, but yeah, it did show the Events page where you can see all of the events. Right. Okay. Yes. You can go back and after the fair, and you can filter for past fairs. And you can click on here is, you can click on available session, then you'll be able to see these are all the things you did during the fair. Erin, Do you know how long that lives in Handshake? I don't think it I don't know of an expiration date, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. I don't see us removing that, so I haven't come across a situation where it has we've archived at or don't think we would do that. Ok, sounds good. Thank you. And then I chat a little bit earlier about the Canvas module. You let me, if you're not already in that module, happy, now it's not letting me. I will give you, the... let me grab it, I'll trying to grab the the link for that. Ok. I guess it's not going to let me do that right this minute. Okay. You can auto enroll in the course. If you go into Canvas, you look for the Career Development Toolkit. You can get into the Canvas module and self enroll yourself. And there's an entire module on virtual career events. So you'll find how to prepare for the event you talked about today, how to navigate the virtual event. There are several links and information about Handshake within the module, tips for success and interactions. So some of those questions that I referred to, questions you might ask, questions you might get from a rep. Those are all in that module. Then how do you follow-up after the event? That's all in the, in the Career Development Toolkit, specifically in that virtual career event module. Other web tools you can find links to all of these on the Cornell Career Services website, career.cornell.edu. And then additional web tools both by Glassdoor, Vault Guides, GoinGlobal, Media Library. Speaking of our Media Library. So in our website, we have a Media Library, so recording this session today. And I'm not sure how many days it will take to send it for subtitle, so it'll be accessible for everyone. Once that's done, it will be posted in the Media Library and you'll find that a career.cornell.edu. And then we have your questions. So if you have additional questions, let's see. Looks like there's a question. Is there any way that we can ask questions from the employer's anonymously? Thoughts about that Erin. There is not a way to do this. Nope, when you're in a group, Session does show your name and obviously in a one-on-one session, they will know who you are as well. Okay? Right now that I'm out of presentation mode and they get a couple of those links and share those in the chat. So here's the self enroll for the Canvas - chat. Hey, there's something else. I said I was going to give you in the chat. I don't remember now. I think that was the main one. Yeah. Yeah. Any other questions about the career fair within Handshake and how to navigate? So somebody did ask as a career fair, more like an information session will be able to acquire job positions from a career, fair? I would say yes, that does happen in where you get a great lead, you meet somebody, you share your resume. You just happened to be the so-called perfect candidate and there's good follow-up following, the career fair. And students find positions that way for sure. Other questions or else have questions before we wrap up. I'm happy to give you eight minutes, but I'm also happy to continue to answer questions if anybody else has question. What do you suggest putting in a follow up email? It's always good if you, you know. Remember something about your interaction. So, if you could share about, you know, something you found fascinating. something about the company. Asking if you're if they ask you to follow up, you give them the information that you want to follow up about. Asking for next steps. If you don't already know what that is. It may be just as simple as you know, thanks so much for participating in the career fair. It was great to meet you. I look forward to engaging with you as your upcoming information session. I would encourage you to personalize it as much as you can. Erin from your, your experiences with an employer that employed plenty of our students. Can you talk about that. Yeah. Just kind of what I was pointing back to beforehand. Just if if you're even able to I mean, this is going above and beyond. But if you're even able to call out something new, you have learned like, I think before, before the interaction with the representative, you want to demonstrate you've done your research. Here's what I already know. Here are some thoughtful questions I have. During that interaction. You should be learning something like this is, this is not just to show off yourself. You should, you are evaluating employers, so you should be taking away hopefully interesting facts from them. And then the follow-up email, like even better if you can say like it was really great to learn about the rotational program experience from this person. And it may be even more confident in my interest in this role, kind of calling back to something new you learned. I think that again, just shows extra dedication. You are specifically interested in this type of opportunity. So yeah, that's just think off the top of my head. But hopefully that's helpful example. Yet, in personalized, bringing up things that you talked about for sure, what you learn, things you learned before, during, and after. And if you go to that Canvas module, there are modules in there and several, several different subject matters. And following up there will be some samples in there about some interesting language, good language to use to help you work through a follow-up email. Other questions people have before we close up shop tonight. These are a really good question. I just have to say they were all different and not something we had talked about. So just appreciate everyone's thoughtful questions today. Yes, exactly. Cornell students, I say all the time they are amazing and they always have very thoughtful questions and unique questions. And we appreciate their curiosity. So, Erin thanks so much for joining us. Super appreciate you being with us tonight and helping us better understand how to attended a career fair in Handshake. Of course, it was such a pleasure. Like I said, just really impressive the engagement and this group. Kim, thank you for doing all this work hosting this event. It's I know it's going to be a great, a great event. So thanks all for your time. You bet. Okay, thanks so much. Good night everybody, See you all soon.
