It’s that time again, and we have scheduled our Spring virtual job fair for March 15-19, online at www.nmvirtualjobfair.com. We held our first virtual high tech fair last fall and it was well received by job seekers and employers. The venue was created to help both busy employers and job seekers find each other without having to stand in line or in a booth.
We also wanted to provide that personal attention to the potential employee, and to do this we asked the hiring company to acknowledge and respond to the applicant right away, letting them know how their resume stacks up and where the company is in the hiring process.
This mode has been used in other areas and some of the media groups hold online job fairs to keep it simple but also maintain a personal connection. As there are more and more job fairs the job seeker has to make choices according to their time limits, and this virtual fair eases that pressure while giving information on what’s happening right now in the tech industry.
Job seekers might also make a better online presentation by using the social network pages to film a self interview, or contact companies that can help with that product. If that isn’t possible, addressing the reasons why you would be the perfect applicant as it relates to the open position helps give the recruiter a little better picture of your abilities. There is one caution we would offer to the applicant. Read the job descriptions carefully and make sure you fit with the type of candidate the company is looking for. It doesn’t’ help your cause to apply for jobs that you aren’t qualified for.
Get your job description/resume ready and sign on on March 15 – 19 to participate in this exciting event. See you (online) there.
