Thank you for registering to participate in our Virtual Job Fair. Please take the time to read over this short guide to ensure you are prepared for success during the Virtual Job Fair. We hope to have at least 50 companies participating in the Virtual Job Fair which will give you plenty of companies to research and communicate with recruiters.

Profile: We have uploaded a basic user’s guide in our “General Discussions” forum to help you understand how to edit and populate your profile. Some of the basic features include a bio and/or about me area, a place to upload a profile picture. You have the option of uploading an avatar but we recommend you stick to a real picture. You are welcome to use a head to toe or head and shoulder picture. I prefer the head and shoulder picture.

Resumes: Please post your resume in the “Virtual Job Fair” forum for “Resumes”. This accomplishes two things; first it puts your resume in a folder accessible by HR personnel/recruiters so they can easily find your information. The second thing it does is ensure only HR personnel/recruiters are able to view your information. You are welcome to post your resume as part of your profile but we recommend you only post it in the forum.

When posting your resume please cut/paste a text only version of your resume and upload an attachment in either word and/or pdf format. This also accomplishes two things; first it makes your resume searchable and will allow us to index it to give recruiters a way of finding the types of resumes they are looking for. The second thing it does is give the recruiters the ability to download a formatted copy of your resume like you would have passed out at a regular job fair.

Chatrooms: These will be setup and available during the job fair. Our plan is to post a schedule to let you know when specific recruiters will be available and what their room name will be. This will give you the opportunity to network with recruiters almost like you would in a regular job fair.
