Event Overview
Bellevue University Career Services invites current students and alumni to participate in the 2026 Spring Virtual Career Fair, a convenient, fully online event designed to support career exploration and professional growth. The fair is hosted on Handshake, a mobile‑friendly platform that supports virtual recruiting and student engagement.
Local and nationwide employers will participate in the fair, actively connecting with Bellevue students and alumni to discuss a wide range of open positions. The virtual format allows participants to engage with employers regardless of location, making the event accessible to students and alumni both within and outside the United States.
“Bellevue University Career Services is proud to offer virtual career fairs that make professional connections accessible to students and alumni wherever they are,” said Terra Beethe, career coach with Bellevue University Career Services. “These events reflect our commitment to supporting lifelong career development and helping our community connect with employers who value Bellevue talent.”
Connect With Employers
During the fair, attendees can participate in one‑on‑one or group sessions with employers through Handshake. These sessions give students and alumni the opportunity to discuss career interests, learn more about organizations, and gain insight into current and upcoming job opportunities.
Employers automatically have access to participants’ resumes who sign up for their sessions, allowing for meaningful and focused conversations during the event.

To help participants prepare, Bellevue University Career Services provides a Student Virtual Career Fair Guide. The guide walks attendees through key steps such as completing Handshake registration, updating resumes, researching employers, and developing strategies for engaging in effective virtual conversations with recruiters.
