Virtual career fairs have replaced the job fairs we attended in-person. These types of events are here to stay and many job seekers are doing better in these events. This interactive format lends a competitive advantage to the employees and candidates.
Power To Fly’s virtual job fair format includes a 20 minute Q&A with each company’s recruiter or HR representative after they finish their presentation. This is your opportunity to pitch yourself, ask questions, learn more about that company’s community or secure next steps.
The question is... how do YOU make the most out of these events?
Join the career experts from Allora Collective for this personalized hour of Q&A! Kelly Kugler (Founder, Career Coach and Relocation Strategist) as well as Anina Lambrechts (Remote Work and Product/UX Design Coach) will share their best advice to stand out and make the most of these career fairs.
They’ll answer your questions about:
- Tailoring your pitch for the event
- How to combine your pitch with a question for the recruiter
- Strategies for follow up and confirming next steps
- Networking with other job seekers
- Connecting with speakers on LinkedIn
Sign up, submit your questions and they’ll also answer your questions that come into the live chat!
