Make the Most of Your Road Trip!

Arrive Early

Plan to log-on to the virtual site visit 10 minutes early so that you have time to collect yourself and avoid technical errors at the last minute. Review the instructions to join your site visit. Timeliness is both a reflection of you, your college/university, and the EACE Road Trip program.  

Dress Appropriately

Please note that although site visits will be conducted virtually, you should still dress as if you were attending an in-person site-visit. It is recommended that you dress in a business casual fashion. “Business Casual” is a medium between professional and casual. Suits, jackets and ties are not necessary for business casual, but do avoid wearing jeans, tee shirts, and sneakers. Remember to dress to impress. When in doubt, it's better to dress “too professionally” than “too casually.”  
 

Act Professionally

Although a site visit is not an interview, you are still expected to be on your best behavior. As a representative of your college/university, you can give employers a positive impression by showing an interest in the day’s activities and asking well-researched questions. Avoid side-bar conversations and cell phone usage during the virtual site visit and use the best possible etiquette. 

Have Your Resume Prepared

This event is a great opportunity to keep in touch with a potential employer for an internship or job after you graduate. Follow the lead of the employer in regards to handing out your resume. 

Check Your Email and Voicemail

You will be receiving occasional emails and phone calls from your Site Coordinator about the site visit, so be sure to check them both regularly so you do not miss any important updates.  

Cancellation Policy

Students who cancel will not receive a refund. Refunds of the $5 attendance fee will only be offered if the sponsoring organization cancels the visit. In the event of an emergency, please make sure you contact the Site Coordinator 24 hours in advance, so they know you will not be attending. 

Questions

If you have additional questions about making the most of your site visit, contact your institution's respective Career Center. If you have question about your specific virtual site visit, contact your Site Coordinator.
