Tips for Employer Success at GVSU Career Fairs
The GVSU Career & Internship Fair is held each fall and winter—here are some tips to help you make the most of it!
Before the Fair - Check Your Registration on Handshake
Did you know that you can update parts of your Career Fair
registration even after submitting it? You can edit representative
names, your organization description, and the job roles you are hiring
for. The more detailed and accurate your registration, the better
prepared candidates will be to engage with your team. To learn how to
update your fair registration, please visit Handshake.
Day of the Fair - Arrive Early
Plan to arrive on site at least one hour before the fair
begins (employer registration starts at 11 am). This allows
time for parking, unloading materials, checking in, and setting up
your booth. And don’t forget our
incredible
employer lunch that is served from 11 am to 1 pm. It’s a great
way to recharge before a busy afternoon of meeting candidates.
During the Fair - Be Open and Engaging
Encourage your team to speak with all students, regardless of major.
While you may be targeting specific fields, our students are eager to
explore diverse opportunities—and your next great hire might come from
an unexpected background.
After the Fair - Share Your Feedback
Look for a post-event Employer Evaluation in your inbox the next day. Your feedback helps us continually improve the fair experience for both employers and students.
