What is a virtual career fair?

A virtual career fair is an online event where organizations and participants meet in a virtual space (virtual booth), using video conferencing and chat boxes to exchange information about career and job opportunities as well as career resources.

 

​

What is a virtual booth and what will happen when I visit one?

A “virtual booth” represents the Zoom breakout room an organization is assigned to host. In the virtual booth, representatives from the organization will host a 20 minute information session. In this time they'll speak about their organization, opportunities, and address questions you may have.

​

​

I'm not looking for a job right now. Should I still attend the career fair?

Yes! We strongly recommend you attend the fair even if you're not looking for a job. Professionals across various industries will be at the fair ready to share advice, insights, and/or resources related to their industry or organization. This is a unique opportunity during challenging times to network, so we hope you'll take advantage of the fair.

​

​

Will the events be recorded? Can I have access to the recordings if I missed an event?

All fair events are not being recorded and thus no replays will be available afterward. 

 

What steps should I take to navigate this site? 

1. Check out the list of organizations with virtual booths at our fair and make a note of which booths you want to visit.

2. Look through the resource events held throughout September and make a note of which events you want to attend.

3. Complete the registration form (by September 28) to register for the fair and identify which resource events and booths you plan to attend.

4. Before the career fair, be sure to review any pre-fair instructions organizations requested you to complete before visiting their booth.

​

​

Is the career fair only for students?

The following events are open to the public: LinkedIn workshop, Tell Me About Yourself workshop,  Labor Market Information workshop, Virtual Booths, Keynote Speaker, and the DLIR/DBEDT information session. The It Factor Competition and UH Career Mixer are the only events that are exclusively for students and invited guests.

 

​

Where do I find the Zoom information for the career fair?

All Zoom info (links and meeting IDs) for the career fair and its resource events can be found in the email that will be sent to you a couple of days before each event. Just in case, please check your Spam folder for these emails from uhccjco@hawaii.edu.

​​

​

Can I visit more than one virtual booth during the fair?

Yes, you are encouraged to visit as many booths as you'd like during the fair. However, please note, you can only be in one virtual booth at a time.

​​

​

How do I go from one virtual booth to another?

You will receive more information on how to navigate between booths in the email that will be sent to a couple of days before the fair.

​​

​

I'm not familiar with Zoom. Can someone walk me through the features so I'm ready to use it for the fair?

Yes! Please contact your campus career or job prep advisor for assistance on how to use Zoom for the fair.
