Are you searching for a new job? Why not
include virtual career fairs in your job search strategy. A virtual career fair
is an interactive online platform that connects job seekers to employers and
employment opportunities. As online technologies become more user-friendly,
virtual career fairs are quickly gaining prominence, and recruiters are losing
their skepticism once they have participated in one.
Where to Discover Virtual Career Fairs
A quick Google search will yield information on
upcoming virtual career fairs. Keep in mind that there are also specialized
virtual career fairs – for people with disabilities, veterans, and by job
function, so be sure to include that in your keyword search.
Virtual
career fairs are often sponsored by all levels of government, universities, job
boards such as Indeed, Monster and Career Builder, and private organizations.
And if you are interested in working for specific companies, call them to find
out if they will be hosting or participating in an upcoming virtual career
fair.
