Good to know
Is Paradez free?
Yes. Paradez is free for UC Irvine students.
Is this an official UCI app?
No. Paradez is an independent student project, not run by UC Irvine or its career center. Fair dates and employer lists come from public career-center and Handshake listings, and you still register for fairs on Handshake.
Where do the booth numbers come from?
From the fair's floor plan once the career center publishes it. Until then, you can still browse employers and build your list.
Do I need to upload my resume?
No, it's optional. When you want feedback, upload a PDF or Word file or paste the text. Nothing on your profile goes to employers unless you share it.
