Here are reasons why you should attend the virtual career fair:

1. Talk to the right people
There are many types of virtual career fairs. First off, virtual career fairs come in different shapes and sizes. There may be an event tailored perfectly for what you’re looking for.

When it comes to actually making contact with companies you’re interested in, virtual career fairs help steer you in the right direction, ahead of time, you can check out the companies in attendance to get the lowdown on their business and check for current job openings.

2. Attend from anywhere
You can log in from the comfort of your own home - http://procareerexpo.p4pe.co/. The most striking difference between traditional and online job fairs is that, with the virtual variety, you don’t have to go anywhere.
The convenience of attending from wherever you have a decent internet connection feeds into many other benefits we’ve highlighted below.

• Distance is no longer a factor

• While remote attendance can be a major advantage for some people, it completely changes the game for those that would not be able to attend in the first place.

• This means that you can open your job search out to different countries, cities, and regions and that you don’t have to miss an opportunity due to the logistics (and cost) of travel.

• It also ensures that you get to speak to the right person. Recruiters don’t have to travel either, making it more likely that you’re speaking to someone in a position to make a genuine job offer.


3. Stay prepared
To make the most out of any jobs fair it’s vital to be prepared and to do your research beforehand.
With virtual career fairs, this part gets easier. Profiles for each of the companies attending can be browsed in advance, along with the vacancies they have available (and which they are aiming to fill).

What’s more, all the extra research you do can be noted down and kept close at hand. In fact, this goes for everything you prepare in advance. As you’ll be chatting to companies digitally, you won’t want to waste time with small talk, and you won’t want to miss your chance to ask important questions or give full, impressive responses.

• Update your profile (including your resume)
• Prepare an elevator pitch
• Browse companies and vacancies
• Do background research on companies and the industry
• Make a note of your questions


4. Network with ease
Virtual career fairs put the ‘network’ in networking. While there are clear benefits to networking in person, virtual career fairs offer something different to supplement that.

With online jobs fairs, it requires comparatively little effort to get your name out there and make connections. Simply by attending and chatting online to companies you’re interested in can prove hugely beneficial.

Conversations at virtual career fairs are less about personal chemistry and are more focused on your skills, experience and achievements – and about what questions you ask and how you talk about yourself. As its online http://procareerexpo.p4pe.co/, your name (more so than your face) is likely to be remembered more readily at virtual career fairs, and your profile can be marked out by a company for future opportunities.


5. Get your questions answered
Chatting to recruiters online gives you a certain freedom to ask the important questions. While in person you might struggle to pose a question the right way, or your recruiter might not give you as straight an answer as you’d like, at virtual career fairs you can get straight to the point.

Not to mention that you can prepare your questions carefully in advance. This allows you to make the most of your time and ensures you are able to make informed choices about which opportunities to pursue.


6. Log off with a job
There is one overarching reason to attend a jobs fair: to get a job. Virtual career fairs, despite being online, are no different. Attendees can ideally expect to walk away (or, in this case, log off) with a job offer – so long as they play their cards right.

In fact, one in five candidates proceeds from chatting to a proper interview with the company after attending P4PE’s virtual career fairs.

As with any career fair, recruiters are also there for only one reason: to fill vacancies.
With virtual career fairs, you’re more likely to be talking to companies whose vacancies you’re a decent match for.

By ensuring you are fully prepared ahead of time, and that you’re talking to companies with openings you are interested in, you will be putting yourself in the best position to receive an offer.

When the times comes, make sure to ask the right questions and give a good account of your skills, experience, achievements, and education.

While we can’t guarantee you’ll receive an offer, you may be invited to interview or to apply through a formal channel with a recommendation from the recruiter. At the very least, making a good impression boosts your chances with a company in the future, taking you one step closer to landing a job.
