Online Job Fairs
Also known as a virtual job fair or electronic job fair.
Like a traditional job fair, online job fairs are
live, fully interactive.
They allow employers and job seekers
to meet and discuss employment
opportunities by way of specialised
websites.

5 Tips to get the most out of
an online job fair
But despite the convenience, we wouldn’t recommended attending an
online job fair in your pajamas.
It is essential to treat the event as you
would a regular job fair, and utilize the
opportunity to build connections and
get noticed as a viable candidate.

online profilesPanelists

Like a regular job fair, it is important to have your resume updated and
polished to suit the type of employers who will be at the event. Do
your research before the event and cater your
resume to the types of jobs available.
An online job fair is also a good time
to polish up your online presence.
LinkedIn is a very popular tool these
days for employers, and is something
to look into if you’re searching for a
job online. If you do utilize LinkedIn,
make sure to keep it updated and
relevant.

Browse through all the company
booths when you first attend the
online fair, and spend some time
learning about the companies and
available opportunities before
starting a conversation.
Once you've chosen your
favourites, do some additional
background research by visiting
the employer's website and
learning as much as you can about
open positions and whether you
might be a good fit.

In a short period of time, it is important to try
and be memorable.
Hi ___,
This is James
Clift. I
noticed you had
some open
positions for a
millwright.
Are there any
specific
certifications
you're looking
for?
• Make sure to do the research beforehand.
• View the job descriptions and requirements
• Don’t ask a question that could be answered
by a companies’ website or virtual booth.
Introduce yourself, and then ask your question
(in the same text box). Unlike an in-person
conversation, it is acceptable introduce yourself
in more detail.

• What are your strengths, skills, and passions?
Make sure to mention these when you're
conversing with an employer, and let them know
you're interested in connecting after the event.
• If the live chat is going well, try and schedule a
follow up interview during the event.
• Spend some time before the event defining your career goals.

5. Don't get discouraged

If it takes a while for a company representative to answer your
question, don't leave their virtual booth.
Odds are that they are in conversation with
another applicant, and will be with you as
soon as that conversation is completed.
Wait a few minutes and you’ll get a response.
Keep the conversation lively, and make sure to
ask all questions you need answered.
