JULY 14, 2020 — UTSA is collaborating with institutions across San Antonio to create an opportunity for students and alumni to network from home via the Greater San Antonio Virtual Career Expo.
Students at partnering institutions will have the opportunity to virtually connect with employers from across the nation. Partnering institutions are Northeast Lakeview College, Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto College, Schreiner University, St. Mary’s University, Texas A&M University–San Antonio, Trinity University and University of the Incarnate Word.
Students and alumni can prepare for the expo, scheduled for August 4, by reviewing the attending employers prior to the event and preparing to interact with them through a chat, rather than a face-to-face interaction like they would at a traditional career fair.
Participants should review what time each employer will be online to ensure that they will be in the expo while a particular employer is online.
Once a participant has connected with an employer in the general chat, employers can invite participants to a private chat, where they can ask more-specific questions about a participant’s experience and qualifications.
⇒ Register and learn how to participate in the career expo.
Participants can also prepare for the expo by reviewing their résumé and utilizing the University Career Center’s résumé templates, uploading their résumé to VMock for instantaneous feedback or by checking in to the University Career Center’s virtual drop-in hours every Tuesday and Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on virtual drop-in hours visit Handshake.
If you have a contact at an organization that you believe should be recruiting at this event, email Mario Vela at mario.vela@utsa.edu.
