Tips to Remember:
- Don't forget, sessions are first-come, first serve, so if there is an employer you definitely want to meet with, don't wait to register and book a meeting with them!
- Research registered employers.
- Check Handshake regularly to see if new employers have registered. A directory of employers and certification areas sought will also be available on the PERC website closer to the date of the fair.
- Virtual Panels from our Sponsors: Please see the links above under Resources!
- Prior to the day of the fair, make sure your camera and audio are working in Handshake. You can check this by logging into Handshake and selecting “Test Handshake Video” in the upper right-hand corner.
- Remember that candidates can continue booking meetings with employers until the end of the fair. Don’t be a “No Show”. Please cancel your meeting if your availability changes.
