Next week, we will send you a Résumé Book with résumés from in-person and virtual attendees who chose to submit them. Feel free to reach out to any people you’re interested in chatting with; you may even want to set up some time to chat with them one-on-one before or after the career fair! 

Photography  

We will have a photographer documenting the conference! By attending the conference, you consent to being photographed and to Georgia Tech potentially using these pictures, and you release Georgia Tech from any liability resulting from such usage.  

Questions Before, During, or After the Conference?  

If you have questions leading up to or after the conference, please contact Hannah Moon hannah.moon@cc.gatech.edu.

If you have questions during the conference, Hannah should be able to answer them. If you can’t find her, you can ask anyone with a Staff ribbon on their conference nametag.
