Individuals who are due to graduate in Dec 2025 or May/August/Dec 2026 are strongly encouraged to submit a resume (not a C.V.) using the provided link in the registration confirmation email. It’s possible to submit a resume even if you are unable to attend the career fairs, as all industry partners will receive all resumes submitted.

NOTE: You are not required to submit a resume to participate in this career fair. If you do submit your resume, it is NOT equal to registering for the event—don’t forget to register on Handshake!

The deadline for resume submissions for the virtual BIG10 GSPIRE is Monday, October 13th at 11:59 pm Eastern Time. It is advised to submit resumes early to account for any potential technical difficulties. Adding a resume on Handshake is also recommended, as it is a useful platform for job searching and applications at your level.

Companies participating in this event will exclusively offer internships and professional positions for Postdocs, PhDs, and Master’s level students/staff. The list of attending companies may expand closer to the event date, so it’s important to check back frequently for updates.

Please note that if you require any accommodations such as live captioning or interpretation to fully participate in this event, please contact your career services office. Requests made two weeks before the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.

Get ready to take your future to the next level! We look forward to seeing you there.
