Virtual Career FairWinter 2021 | Open to select Partner levels The Cal Poly CE/ENVE career fair will be hosted online through zoom in Winter 2021. Though virtual, it will be just as beneficial and offer more opportunity for students and companies to talk one-on-one. Company posters will be hosted alongside each company’s interview room link so students can learn more about a company before joining. Student volunteers will be managing the virtual ‘lines’ for each company, so representatives may focus on networking with prospective hires instead of worrying about technological logistics. The career fair will be hosted over three weeks. Each company will be offered 1.5 hour time slots from 9am to 2:30pm on Thursday and Friday. IPP companies will be offered prime spots on the first day of the career fair, January 14th. The resume book will be included in the price of career fair attendance for companies to view and make notes on as they interview people. |
