-: Hey, fellow Huskers.
Kailee Rupprecht here.
I am a CASNR peer career coach
for the UNL CASNR Careers Office,
and I'm here today to help you register
for our virtual spring career fairs.
So as you can see, I'm at the careers.unl.edu website
here on the homepage,
and I'm just gonna click on Spring Career Fairs.
This is gonna give you a little bit more information
about our virtual spring career fair.
It is a four-day event taking place February 23rd
through the 26th from noon to four.
That doesn't mean that you're locked in all day long
for each event.
You can register for as many days as you want.
You can register for only one if you'd rather.
But each of your sessions are gonna be
around 10 to 15 minutes,
so you can schedule as many of those
or as little as you time.
And just a little tip.
Since it is a virtual career fair,
you still need to be business professional,
putting your best foot forward.
So I am just gonna click on one here.
I am going to look at day three.
Okay, and this is gonna give me
a little bit more information
about the career fair happening on day three.
Some of the employers attending,
Farmers Co-op, Neogen, Cargill,
lots of different ag opportunities
for something that I'm interested in.
So I'm gonna go ahead and click Register.
All right, so now I am registered for the event.
If you can't tell, I'm logged in to Handshake.
So all Huskers have a UNL Handshake account,
and it just takes you to that site when you hit register.
Log in with your Handshake equipment
and it'll keep pushing you forward.
So I'm gonna look at the employer sessions
because just that,
even though I'm registered for the career fair
doesn't necessarily mean that I am done
with the registration process.
I still need to make some individual appointments
with those employers.
So I am going to check out some different options here.
Okay, Farmer's Co-op, that looks like a great one for me
as I'm interested in agronomy and nutrition for cattle.
So right here, it shows that I can register
for a one-on-one event with an employer at Farmer's Co-op
or I can also attend a group session.
So those group sessions are 30-minute sessions.
These one-on-one sessions are 10-minute sessions.
So what I wanna give a little tip here,
recommend for you Huskers registering
for these career fairs.
Freshmen and sophomores,
the group session might be a little bit
of a better opportunity for you
if you're not looking for a job or internship right away.
Those are gonna be very similar
to an in-person career fair,
where lots of students are gonna walk up to the employer
and kinda chat for a little bit all together
and then you just kinda use that
as a network opportunity.
For you juniors and seniors
who are looking for internships right now,
looking for jobs right now,
these one-on-one sessions are good for you
because you're gonna be able to kinda sit down
and have almost like a mini-interview with those employers.
So you just click on the time that you want and hit Confirm.
And now I have a one-on-one session booked.
As a little bonus tip for all of you Huskers
looking for career fair tips,
I do want to recommend that you visit one of our resume labs
or make an individual appointment
with any of our peer career coaches, including myself.
We can give you a hand looking over your resume,
building a resume, cover letter work.
We can also help you sit down and do a mock interview
so you know what it's like to talk
to these employers from a Zoom platform.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to myself
or Julie in the Careers Office.
Thanks. Bye.
