Getting Prepared
The appointments for the virtual fair will be broken into group and 1:1 sessions. Group will focus more on hearing from the employer themselves. The 1:1 sessions is for briefly meet with employers.
“Those will involve giving your elevator pitch, introducing yourself, hearing a little about the employer, and having the opportunity to give them your resume.” – Abigail Ramin.
To prepare for these virtual session’s students are encouraged to meet with their career coach and conduct a virtual mock interview. Coaches can help check for proper attire, lighting, non-verbal cues, and fine tune an elevator speech which will be one of the most used tools during the event.
Abigail advises that after the event students should connect with employers they meet.
“Always connect with employers they are interested in on LinkedIn after and include something that was mentioned in the conversation when you do.” – Abigail Ramin.
