"Juniors and seniors should develop a LinkedIn profile before attending career fairs. They can include the link on their resumes, which they should bring to the fairs," Farrell said.

There is also a new resource available, Iris Air, at the Dahlonega Campus. Iris Air is a photo booth in the Career Services Office in the Stewart Center where students can take professional headshots for their LinkedIn profile or other professional purposes.
Students can also attend virtual career chats with Career Services, like "Find Your Why" for students who do not yet have a clear career direction, or a resume writing chat. Nigel's Career Closet, another resource available to students, is back this semester and allows students to obtain free professional or business casual clothing to wear to the fairs or interviews. Clothing closets are available at the Dahlonega Campus in the Stewart Center, Suite 333, and at the Gainesville Campus in the Student Center.
