🏢 Hosted by Carleton University Career Services
Carleton University Career Services is offering a virtual workshop to help students prepare for upcoming career fairs by optimizing their networking strategies and LinkedIn profiles. This two-hour online session runs on September 23 and focuses on practical skills for making the most of networking opportunities. The workshop is designed to help students present themselves effectively both in person at fairs and online through their professional profiles.
Why it’s worth going
Finance and accounting recruiters heavily rely on LinkedIn to research candidates before and after career fairs, making a polished profile essential for standing out. Strong networking strategies can help you navigate crowded career fairs efficiently and make meaningful connections with recruiters from banks, accounting firms, and financial services companies. This workshop provides concrete preparation before you invest time attending actual recruitment events, maximizing your return on that effort.
Going in prepared
Have your current LinkedIn profile open during the virtual session so you can make real-time improvements as strategies are discussed. Prepare a list of specific networking challenges you’ve faced or anticipate facing at career fairs so you can ask targeted questions. Since this is a virtual event, ensure you have a stable internet connection and consider having your resume on hand as the networking and LinkedIn strategies will likely connect to how you present your experience.
