Deadline to Register for Design Expo 

You must complete all three steps

After February 17, you CAN continue making updates to the CONTENT within your online portfolio until Sunday, March 5 by 11:59 pm. 

After February 17, you CANNOT submit a new resume, make updates to the resume you submitted, or change the URL link to your online portfolio, all of which you submitted during registration.

We will have drop-In's on Friday, Feb. 17th from 10-1pm. 

Continue Updating the Content in Your Online Portfolio

During this time, continue updating the content within your online portfolio during this time. That means adding new photos or projects. However, the URL/link should remain the same one you submitted during registration. This cannot be changed.

February 27 to
Sunday,
March 5th (by 11:59 pm)

(You have 1 week)

Request That Employers View Your Portfolio 

You will be able to see all the employers registered for Design Expo on Handshake. You are welcome to reach out to any employers on Handshake and request that they review your portfolio. Employers will receive and begin to review portfolios on Monday, March 6.

We highly recommend working with your professors, employers, or internship supervisors, so that you can have FULL AVAILABILITY during the event, in case you are invited to interview with an employer. The chances of being invited are higher if you have all times available.

March 5
(by 11:59 pm)

Last Day to Finalize the Content of Your Online Portfolio

This is the last day to update the CONTENT within your online portfolio. If you have a new project you finalize after this date, you should add it to your physical portfolio and bring any updated work to Design Expo to show employers during the event.

Last Day to:

• Request That Employers View Your Portfolio
• Withdraw from Design Expo

Monday,
March 6

Stop Updating Your Portfolio 

Employers will receive your Resumes & Online Portfolio Links starting March 6th. 

Please “press pause” and refrain from making any changes to your online portfolio while employers view your work; it will distract from the quality of your work if your content keeps changing as employers are navigating your website

Receive Your Interview Schedule 

Starting on Monday, March 20, students will be invited to select interview time slots. Please note that these emails will be sent to your Jefferson email address and will be sent during the course of the week.

You are required to select a time slot with each employer who has invited you for an interview.  

Research all of the employers you’ll be meeting with, or would like to visit during Open Networking, so you know the basics (what type of company, what services they provide, where they are located, what makes them stand out from their competitors).
