Tips for your Information Sessions

1. Advertise your event 2 weeks in advance

  • Events that are well publicized tend to generate more student interest. It is in the best interest of the company to request the event at least 4 weeks in advance and begin the advertising 2 weeks prior to the date of the Information Session.
  • Advertising can be done in a variety of ways. Once your Information Session is requested and approved, a Recruiter Experience Specialist will provide specific resources to reach and market to students.

2. Have a Great Description

  • Describe your event on Handshake in way that stirs student interest to come and listen.

3. Choose a Good Day/Time/Location

  • Good Days - Tues, Weds, and Thurs.
  • Good Times - Tues, before 7pm; Weds and Thurs, between 5pm-7:30pm.
  • A Recruiter Experience Specialist will also help by scheduling your information session at a location based on the majors targeted for the event.

4. Mention Opportunities

  • Make sure you talk about the type of opportunities that are available, or that will be available, at your company in your advertisement.

5. Provide Food
