在职业公平，会议或行业兴趣活动期间

1. Sign in with Career Education at the beginning of the event
   • 提示＃7：Signing in not only enables Career Education to track your email in case an employer sends out a message post-fair, but also prints you a name tag and gives you an updated pamphlet of all companies/types of open positions.
2. 公司的表你researche方法d/are interested in
   • Tip #8:If there’s a long line at one company but not another, it doesn’t hurt to use the opportunity to speak to an available recruiter to learn about a different employer.
3. Conduct yourself in a professional manner
   • Tip #9:It never hurts to smile and give a firm yet friendly handshake!
4. 如果您可以递交简历副本，请送电梯播放/询问招聘人员
   • Tip #10:This should be no more than one minute long, especially if there’s a line of students behind you. Themes to cover include: (1) your name, major, and class year, (2) why you’re interested in the company, and (3) questions you hope the recruiter can answer about the company.
     Example:Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Jane, and I’m currently a junior who is majoring in economics and psychology. I’d love to learn more about the Management Development Internship (MDI) at Bob’s Donuts. Since my first year of college, I’ve been very interested in culinary management. I believe the MDI aligns with many of my existing skills and provides an unparalleled opportunity for growth. I’m especially excited for the three team rotations that interns complete, and the chance to be mentored by an employee who’s gone through the program. Do you mind if I ask you a few quick questions? I’d love to learn more about the Operations rotation and the company’s recent initiative to transition to plastic-free packaging
5. If necessary, ask the recruiter, alumna or company representative for his/her business card
6. Thank the representative for his/her time
7. Collect relevant company materials (e.g. pamphlets, brochures, swag)

After the Career Fair, Meetup, or Industry Interest Event

1. Sign in to Handshake to apply for the roles you’re most interested in
   • Tip #11: If a job requires a cover letter, it’s helpful to mention that you connected with a recruiter, alumna, or company representative at a career fair and learned about X, Y, and Z (the more personal and specific, the better). Many of our recruiters admit that knowing someone in the company pushes your resume to the top so mention any names you were able to collect.
2. If necessary, email and thank the recruiter, company representative or alumna
   • 提示＃12：You should only do this if you had a memorable conversation and hope to stay in touch, or if you have follow-up questions. If it’s the former scenario, you should send an email after applying to the company’s opening on Handshake. This way, you’ve indicated your interest and commitment.

Some internships and jobs may not be available to certain class years, but all of these steps will prepare you for success when speaking to an employer. If you are ineligible for a role, thank the recruiter for his/her time, or ask about a different position that may better match your qualifications. Many times, the recruiter will be happy to put you in touch with others at the company that recruit for your specific interest area, so it doesn't hurt to ask!

Remember:It’s important to treat employers with respect by researching a company in advance, dressing and acting professionally, and connecting your interests to an open role. If you have any questions during the fair, advisors and mentors from Career Education are always available. If you have questions before or after the fair, you can schedule an appointment with your advisor or mentor on Handshake.

职业教育小组将在会议结束后与所有与会者的名称，电子邮件和专业发送出席人员名单。雇主还可以请求恢复，因此您将更新的简历保留在握手配置文件上是重要的。

What do I do when I receive a message on Handshake or an email from an employer?

当您注册职业公平和/或特定雇主的活动时，或将您的握手概况公开到雇主，某些公司可能会直接与您联系。值得注意的是，您没有义务回复这些消息。

If you receive a direct message on Handshake:

• 考虑这是否是个人或通用消息。通过握手发送的大多数消息都邀请学生在职业公平期间访问雇主的展位，或者建议学生在握手上申请特定的工作/实习。如果您有兴趣与雇主交谈，请随时回复。否则，特别是在大规模信息的情况下，您不需要回复。如果您收到来自同一雇主的重复的不需要的消息，请让职业教育知道，并将通知雇主和握手管理。亚博电竞
• 握手使雇主能够直接与学生联系，希望雇主能够使申请人游泳池多样化，并为自己的机会带来更多的学生。因此，与握手讨论的招聘人员可以为学生和公司创造有益的交流。

If you receive an email in your Wellesley inbox:

• Perform due diligence to ensure that the sender has a credible email address and is from a credible company. Most companies that discover your profile on Handshake will directly contact you via the platform. Therefore, be cautious when you receive a direct email in your Wellesley inbox, especially if you have not been giving out your contact information.
• Checking whether or not a recruiter/employer is credible can be as simple as searching the email address of the individual who reached out to you on Google. You may also want to search the recruiter/employer on LinkedIn. Be careful: Fraudulent recruiters/employers often deceive students with subtle devices, such as misspelling an email domain by just one letter.
• Finally, if you receive an email in your Wellesley inbox, you do not need to respond. If you have a question or concern, you can directly contactSumana Northover，雇主参与职业教育的计划总监。Sumana可以提供关于这是否是合法或欺诈性消息的指导。

How do I spot a fraudulent employer on Handshake? What happens if I get caught up in a fraudulent situation?

While Handshake allows students to access thousands of employers and vice versa, it unfortunately is also vulnerable to fraudulent activity, even with current protocols in place. At Wellesley, our Employer Engagement team conducts thorough checks before allowing an employer to post jobs that are visible to students. However, even with extreme diligence, fraudulent activity may not always be detected. Therefore, as a student who is interested in a particular company or role, it’s important to perform your own due diligence. Here are a few precautionary steps:

1. Review a company’s role and job description on Handshake, then search the same information on the company’s own website. Is the position also posted? Do the descriptions match up?
2. Click on the company’s Handshake profile and check out the “Contact Information” box. Do all of the links work/connect to a legitimate website?
   • Tip: Helpful links to visit include a company’s LinkedIn, Facebook, and/or Twitter account.
3. Look up the company on Google to see what kinds of results come up. Are there any concerning articles or accusations of fraudulent activity?

Aside from conducting your own due diligence, be aware of the following practices:

1. Never give money (i.e. cash, check, or bank account number) to any employer. You should never pay to be considered for a job on Handshake. This is a sign that the “company” you are dealing with is fraudulent and scamming you.
2. Be hesitant if a company is willing to hire you based on your resume alone. Also, be suspicious if a job “feels too good to be true”. Almost all reputable companies conduct phone/in-person interviews, while full-time jobs often perform a background check as well.
