Você está participando de uma feira virtual de carreira. Como você pode aproveitá-lo ao máximo?

A virtual career fair in most ways isn’t different from a physical one. You still need to adhere to the basics. Research will always remain the foundation to make the most of a career fair. Study about the employers, identify which employers are in sync with what you are seeking. Do they have the right roles for you? What is the culture like? It’s better to gather all the required data so you save yourself the time and make the most of the process.

You can find out a lot from an employers website, but that's not the only source. What are they saying on their socials, what are their employees posting about, what kind of common skills are being requested in their job descriptions? Also, are they being recognised for industry awards, diversity programmes, or other outreach activities? You will they have a broader set of insight to inform better questions when you hopefully meet 'in person'.

The virtual fairs has specific goal and needs to understand the the entire process. The references plays key role, visit website and analyze area of domain, speciality, market value, ranking, team members,and requirements. This enables to map with candidature and eventually drafting of cv for effective representation. This all makes a outstanding candidate and potential employees.

LinkedIn can provide a wide variety of information concerning corporate culture of companies and experts who represent them to career fairs. Sometimes career fairs include further discussions about alternative industries or special speakers who present valuable insights. Websites, referrals and CSR programs can be included in corporate identity. Do not forget that some details are important to be referred to your cover letters (if you are planning to send to many companies). Remember that resume and LinkedIn profile have to be updated. You can tailor LinkedIn About section and resume title and content. Note that LinkedIn About can be a little more generic.

One easy win is to be sure to follow the organisation via your LinkedIn profile. It is not unknown for recruiters to ensure your on paper interest is matching your digital footprint.

Digital footprint is a result of more than just a LinkedIn profile. Linktee could combine more information about you. There may be a combination of your projects, articles, papers, interviews, designs or additional work. Think that such portfolio is ideal to be added to LinkedIn profile!

Don't forget the power play! As in, ensure your are ready with a full battery or connected directly - nothing worse that being cut-off mid flow.

I could use the saying "Less than more"! Focus on quality and not quantity because you want to be clear and promote the professional profile of your own. Remember that your pitch can be adapted to job requirements, like your resume and cover letter. Do not afraid to repeat yourself concerning content in your cover letter. Because if there will be a fit, you may inspire safety.

Networking has to come with targeted research. You focus on specific industries and companies of your interest. In a career fair, you may have a chance of cooperating with people who are interested in the same field of preference or a different one. In any case, as long as you made the decision to participate in this, you have to support it and give your 100%. The world is small and you do not know what opportunity you can claim while interacting with other graduates or professionals. Furthermore, you can share some feedback and spot strengths and weaknesses in order to reach further improvement. Make a recommendation for each other's back and share more information about your results in that short-term project.

I prefer to do these 3 things on a side chat in the moment, rather than after the career fair. 1. Edify them. Let them know why they are important to you. Also, share your value added proposition. 2. Exchange information on the spot. Put it into your phone during the conversation, and send them a text. If they give an office number, call right after the conversation and leave your information with their direct personnel. 3. Ask them to look at their calendar and schedule an appointment with them no further than a week or two out.

A virtual career fair is digital place of interacting with professionals and sharing knowledge. Exchanging opinions can be an advantage while participating in workshops. If you think that further improvement of your personal branding is necessary, make sure you will take advantage of career coaching services to take some notes. Exploit any piece of information with enthusiasm and curiosity. Be active listener and proceed to direct communication with people you may be inclined to similar preferences.
