Mark your calendar! Purdue's own career fair! Boiler Up! --------------------- Dear Engineering Graduate Students and Postdocs, We are excited to host a virtual career fair, targeted especially for YOU (engineering graduate students and Postdocs at Purdue)! Career fairs are a great opportunity to connect with employers and explore career opportunities aligned with your degree. To make the most of the event, we encourage you to prepare in advance and download Career Fair Plus (CF+). Purdue Engineering Virtual Graduate Career Fair Wednesday, October 8, 2025; 8am - 8pm * Career Fair Plus Online Platform * Exclusive to Purdue Engineering Graduate Students and Postdocs * Meet directly with top employers actively recruiting graduate-level talent: * Fermilab * Owens Corning * GE Verona * STO Builders * Onsemi Register here to attend<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.caree…>. Platform opens Oct 1 for registration; event is Oct 8. Mark your calendars! https://app.careerfairplus.com/pu_in<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.caree…> Here are a few quick tips to get started: * Do your Homework: Log into CF+ a week before the fair to explore the list of participating employers and explore opportunities. Exhibiting companies include Fermilab, Owens Corning, GE Verona, STO Builders, Onsemi, and more coming. * Build your profile: Create a professional profile to help employers learn more about your skills and interests, this includes having a curated resume, a LinkedIn profile, and an elevator pitch to share your skills with the recruiters and hiring managers. * Upload your résumé or CV: Have your résumé or CV ready and uploaded in CF+ (some companies offer a resume drop button) a few days before the fair so employers can review it in advance. * Plan your schedule: For virtual fairs, some opportunities exist to schedule employer meeting times in advance. These slots can fill quickly, so check back regularly. * Know what to expect: Virtual career fairs are hosted directly in CF+ through one-on-one video chats or group sessions with recruiters. Prepare to present yourself professionally, just as you would in person. Questions with Career Fair Plus?
