Event Information
Thank you all for continuing to connect with us and for wanting to recruit our students. In light of economic impacts and uncertainty about the format of UAF's fall semester, we have decided on virtual recruitment for the fall.
What are we doing differently this year?- Translating to virtual to keep our students and employers safe
- Eliminating travel, hotel, and shipping costs. *Additionally we have dropped fair prices.
- Converting from one fair to smaller Byte-sized virtual fairs with more of an industry approach
- Utilizing Handshake for registration and interviews
- Providing employer access to Remo, our virtual career/networking platform
- Opening employer access to online and rural students, increasing the number of potential connections by 4,000 +
You will need to register in Handshake to attend our recruitment events. See our Handshake page to get started.

We will be using Remo a networking platform for our virtual fairs. Check out the video below for a quick demo and introduction to the platform.
Our virtual fairs will look different than our face-to-face fairs and will be formatted as follows:
- First 15 minutes: Get used to Remo
- Next 25-20 Minutes: Employer Presentations
- The rest of the time: Networking/Connections
At the start of the fair, each employer will be asked to give one minute presentations that include information about their company and what positions they are hiring for. During these presentations students will take notes so that they can interact with the companies that are most interesting and relevant to them. After the one minute presentations, we will open up the fair for open networking and students can connect with the companies that have jobs they are interested in learning more about.
We are capping attendance for our industry specific fairs to ensure students do not
have to listen to employer presentations for more than 25-30 minutes. The format of
the Now Hiring fair will be decided as we get closer to the event.
*Note some of the format may change as we get closer to the events

We hope that an organization will not cancel, but in the event that an organization chooses to withdraw completely from an event, the following refund schedule will apply.
- A full refund will be honored if cancellation is received via email two weeks prior to the event date. Cancellations after this date are non-refundable.
- Additionally, no-shows are non-refundable/non transferable.
- In the event a fair must be cancelled or the date moved, organizations that have already paid will receive a full refund.
Space is limited so please let us know immediately if you need to cancel as other employers may be waiting to register. We appreciate your consideration.
Whether or not you participate in the job fair every semester, there are plenty of opportunities for your organization to get involved and gain more exposure to the UAF community. If you're interested participating in any of the events below, let us know and we'll be happy to plan something that works best for you!
- Mock/practice interview workshop: an opportunity to meet with students and provide valuable, instant feedback on how to have a successful interview.
- Resume editing: whether one-on-one or as a presentation, share your knowledge with students on the do's & don'ts of resumes!
- Information session: Do you wish to target a specific major, promote your organization, and recruit for your open job opportunities? Host and information session and show students what you're all about!
