Career Services will not ship packages on your behalf.

Once you have called to schedule a package pick-up you can place the package at the designated area inside of the Career Services office (room 225). For a scheduled pick up location, use the following address: University Career Services, 1400 R Street, Room 225, Lincoln, NE 68588

Capture Student Information at the Fair

At UNL Career Services, we’re excited to introduce a new way for attending employers to streamline their interaction with students at the upcoming career fair. This year, we’re offering the option to utilize the Handshake In-person Booth Check-in system. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Receive Your Unique QR Code

• Each participating organization will receive a unique QR code for their booth. You do not need to print off your QR code ahead of time.  We will have them for you at your table.

Step 2: Student Check-In

• When students approach your booth, invite them to scan your QR code to “check in.”

Step 3: Post-Fair Benefits

• After the fair, students will receive a list of the employers they visited.
• Your designated representative for this fair will receive a list of the students who checked into your booth.

This streamlined process benefits both students and employers by providing valuable information about their fair connections. While not mandatory, we encourage you to utilize this new feature.

Here is an example provided by Handshake as to what your fair registration will look like after the fair. You might not be able to see it now, but as the fair gets closer it should be available. If you have any questions or issues, please reach out to Chance Radtke.

UNLOADING & PARKING

Below is a map to show you where to park your car for the fair. Unlike other fairs, we will not be having display drop-offs due to the smaller size of the event. If you would like to bring your items upstairs first before parking your car, there are several meters in front of the union that are for use (subject to availability).

Once you have parked, you will enter the front of the Nebraska Union and head to the back side of the building, looking for the large circular staircase. Head up those stairs or take the elevator to the left, and our team will be excited to welcome you and get you checked in and provide you with parking validation to use at the end of the day.

BOOTH LOCATIONS

Please note that booths are placed on a first PAID, first served basis. To ensure the best booth placement, please settle your invoice ASAP. If you believe you will have problems doing so, please contact Chance Radtke to come up with a plan.

CAREER FAIR WI-FI

Career Fair participants can access free Wi-Fi by selecting NU Guest and logging in with the following credentials:

Guest Username: Career Fair 2

Guest Password: Huskers

END OF DAY DETAILS

If you had packages shipped to our office ahead of the fair, your packages should be waiting at your booth when you arrive. If you have any issues locating your previously shipped packages, talk to a staff member located at the Career Services Info booth near the Check-In Station. Please note that packages can be dropped off in our office post-fair, however, you are responsible for coordinating your pick-up and shipment from our office. Career Services will not ship packages on your behalf.
