- Doesn’t think it is optimal (given current times)
- Companies are freezing hires or firing
- Tough for people and companies
- Internships are very difficult for companies to deal with at this time
- Doesn’t believe it’s necessarily the best way to go but it’s not impossible
- Not something to focus on
- Maybe next year

- Recommends that you focus on approaching it like a normal career fair
- Know spiel and resume inside and out
- Don’t have high expectations
- Don’t expect to get something out of every online fair you go to
- Stand out – above and beyond
- Harder to stand out online than in person
- Do more than just online fairs
- Make use of your network
- Talk to connections

- Employers aren’t going to expect you to have an internship this summer because of COVID
- Most people probably won’t get one this summer
