Do Your Homework. Before the event, take some time to learn about the organizations attending the career fair. You can see a full list of participating employers at mitalent.org/virtualcareerfair
Be organized and engaged. Have questions prepared ahead of time that you’d like to ask participating employers. Engage with representatives in the booth group chat room or in a private chat message to keep conversation going and leave the employer with a positive impression of you.
Keep the Dialogue Professional. Even though it is an online event, you should still use complete sentences and proper grammar for chat conversations with potential employers.
Be Patient. Technology is a great tool but it is not a perfect system. Errors and other technical difficulties may arise and cause event attendees to experience delays. In addition, organization representatives may be managing several conversations at once so it could be a few minutes before they can address your question or comment. Interviews are not guaranteed and you may have to go to an employer’s external website to apply for positions.
