FAQs

A virtual job fair is an online event that takes place on a specific day and time to allow employers and job seekers to interact in a virtual environment, using chat rooms and other web-based tools to converse and exchange information. Each organization has its own booth, and you can virtually visit each one of them to find job openings prior to and during the event. Employers can also schedule live webinars and roundtable conversations during the event.
