Career Expo Prep Series: From Handshake to Hello – How to Impress a Recruiter

About the event

Want to know what really stands out to recruiters? From your first handshake to your final follow-up, get help to answer those networking questions you’ve always wanted to ask about—what makes a candidate memorable, how to approach a recruiter with confidence, and follow‑up strategies that actually work.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why companies use recruiters and their role in the hiring process
• How to prepare for visiting with a recruiter
• Ways to help you stand out from the crowd

We want to ensure you can fully participate in the event. Please request alternate presentation formats, sign language interpreters, and other reasonable accommodations at least five (5) days in advance of the event via email to studentjobs@wsu.edu.
