Participating
job seeker tips:
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.
Past
participant’s experiences:
“I
live in the Western Upper Peninsula, and was hoping there would have been more
telecommuting positions available. However, I did learn a lot about the current
job market, where to focus my training and what was available in Lower Michigan
if I ever do decide to relocate. Thankfully, I found a solid career locally,
and I am sure the Virtual Career Fair did contribute to my success in securing
the new position.”
“I
appreciate your efforts to expose those of us that are unemployed with
opportunities to see what is readily available for employment.”
“The
virtual fair was excellent, had an opportunity to interact with a lot of
recruiters on line and learned a lot.”
