Over the last few years, virtual events, such as career fairs have become increasingly popular, particularly in light of the universal shift towards remote communication and engagement. A virtual career fair is an informational event or recruitment/outreach event, which connects recruiters and candidates in a virtual space.
Virtual events also facilitate connections between individuals, who perhaps would not have met at the conventional in-person career fair. Virtual career fairs have opened up opportunities for organizations to recruit from all over the world, so you are not limited to events that are being held close to where you currently live.
A virtual environment also removes the hurdles associated with traditional in-person events. For example, attendees can speak directly with the subject matter experts and they can access virtual resources without the hassle of contending with traffic, finding parking, and walking across campus in your best formal suit in 30°C weather.
How Virtual Career Fairs work
Most virtual career fairs function similarly to in-person fairs, but in a virtual setting. You can expect booths for your organisation’s representatives, informational resources, webinars, panels, presentations (live and/or recorded), and private space to chat with representatives or discuss their questions among larger groups in a public board.
This virtual event could also provide opportunities for attendees to connect with programme mentors, recent participant alumni, and each other. The use of the virtual could even lead to attendees getting the chance to make connections with peers in their field or with people, who are planning to intern in the same program or federal agency.
At Meetingbox, we have hosted numerous, successful Career Fairs online.
We do this by using both hybrid and virtual career fair solutions so you can maximize job-matching opportunities.
