HOW TO PREPARE FOR A VIRTUAL JOB FAIR

Follow these steps to get the most from your virtual job fair experience:

Register in advance and download the Zoom app on your computer or mobile device in advance so you'll be ready on the day of the event

Update your resume if needed, and write up your “elevator speech” or professional introduction. Practice it to feel confident in how you describe yourself and what you are looking for.

Research the participating employers, and explore which are likely to hire people with your skills and background.

Develop a “plan of attack” for your time at the virtual job fair; choose your top priority employers to meet with, and focus your time on connecting with them.

Make a list of questions for employers. Ask about how they recruit and hire people with your skill set.

Dress professionally down to your shoes. Although you are online, doing a thorough job dressing professionally will affect your mindset and how you present yourself, and prevents any unanticipated wardrobe mishaps.

In conversations, be sure to get contact information to follow up. After your conversation, make note of details discussed and any contacts mentioned.

After the job fair, send a thank-you e-mail to contacts you met with. Mention a detail to remind them who you are and any points you discussed. Thank them for their time and ask about next steps.
