Transition Advice

Virtual Job Fairs give you the opportunity to tell employers how your background fits their staffing needs. That should be the focus of your conversations with recruiters, and so it is imperative that you research the companies and their needs before the event.

Prior planning and research will help ensure you meet with the recruiters most relevant to your job search and help you make the most of those online conversations. Preparation is crucial since the conversations are short and time is limited.

Register in advance to get early access to the company booths and jobs. Research the attending companies and their opportunities to find jobs that match your skills and interests. Jot down questions about companies to ask during your conversations with recruiters. Use the "LinkedIn Network" links here to reach out to your contacts at those companies to get inside information and advice.

Give careful thought to the questions a recruiter will likely ask you, and prepare the answers in a Word or text document that you can refer to during the conversations. Be prepared to articulate what you are looking for, what your skills are, and why you are a match for their company. Keep your answers short and to the point.
