Four Ways to Connect (Organizations)

We recognize that students have multiple competing priorities for their time on-campus (and off-campus) that don’t always allow for participation in recruitment activities hosted by University Career Services. Our goal is to foster events that meet students where they are. To that end, we are promoting four modalities that allow students to choose what works best for initial engagement with recruiters. We ask that our recruiters strive to take measures to not intentionally privilege one modality over another. Students need reassurance that there is no penalty to their applications or candidacy based on their chosen form of initial engagement.

Employers participating in on-campus recruitment events will have to commit to our four student connection modalities:

• Connect face-to-face at in-person fairs, or Connect by 1:1 or group sessions scheduling on Handshake Virtual Fairs with students desiring to learn about your organization, workplace, or job postings: whether they are job seeking or just want to expand their network for future opportunities at the on-campus event you’re at.
• Connect by virtual chatting on Handshake with students desiring to discuss job postings of interest: all recruiters will be obliged to setup Handshake’s 15-minute virtual chats scheduling tool on each job posting 4-weeks prior to their on-campus event (or have a recruiter’s contact info available on their Handshake company page who can schedule a 15-minute virtual chat outside of Handshake).
• Connect by direct messaging on Handshake with students desiring to discuss job postings of interest: all recruiters will be obliged to setup Handshake’s messaging tool on each job posting 4-week prior to their on-campus event (or have a recruiter’s contact info available on their Handshake company page).
• Connect by receiving direct applications on Handshake to job postings from your organization: all jobs that organizations have available for students will be posted on Handshake 4-weeks prior to their on-campus event.

February 8th 2023, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm on Handshake Virtual Fairs Platform

This fair brings together employers who are primarily seeking recruit and/or network with students from underrepresented minority groups within the communities they operate and serve. These employers are seeking to fill Summer Internship and Full-Time Job roles with students from Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM majors. This is an opportunity for recruiters who have “diversity recruitment strategies” to connect with underrepresented students who are still conducting their search for a Summer Internship or Full-Time Job.

Employers that register for this fair will be evaluated on their diversity initiatives and programming based on information we find on their website. All approval decisions will be based on that evaluation in addition to other criteria we use to evaluate employer engagement and recruiter activity at Carolina.

This event is open to all UNC undergrad and graduate majors (except MBA, Law, Medical, and Dental) which include: Business, Communications, Economics, English, History, Political Science, Public Policy, Military Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies, African American Studies, Romance Languages, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Library and Information Sciences, Engineering, Earth Sciences, Health Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Finance, Operations, Entrepreneurship, Marketing & Sales, Real Estate, and more!

***THIS FAIR WILL BE VIRTUAL AND HOSTED ON CAREERECO***

Masters & PhD Students and alumni will meet recruiters live online. Full-time, internship, and co-op Jobs (all majors invited).

The GCC Virtual Career Expo (VCE) is a one-day online career fair/networking for Ph.D. & Master’s students, postdocs, and alumni that offers the opportunity to connect with employers. These employers represent a range of career fields (review hiring details here). They are all seeking advanced-degree candidates. This year’s VCE will be on March 8th. Attend the expo from anywhere!

Here is how some past participants described their experience:

It was a fun experience with less pressure and surprisingly, less awkwardness than a real-life career expo.

It was nice to speak with recruiters gain career advice.

Good and easy way to connect to possible employers

Great and easy way to talk to people from organizations that are hiring, to find out more about the job and the organization.
