How do I attend?

At the in-person fair, you may walk up to the companies of your choosing and speak with their representatives. At the virtual fair, you must schedule an appointment on Career Fair Plus to speak with companies. 

How do I use Career Fair Plus to schedule appointments / view the map?

To schedule appointments, you must create a Career Fair Plus account using your Purdue email. If you do not use your Purdue email, you will not be able to schedule appointments for the fair. From the app, you will be able to see the companies in attendance for the in-person and virtual fair (and sort by majors recruited, GPA requirement, Visa status, etc.). Here’s the link to make a student account. If you have never used Career Fair Plus or want a quick refresher, here’s a link to a video walkthrough. The window to schedule appointments for the virtual fair opens Monday, September 2nd at 8AM.
