Also, most of your questions will probably be answered by reviewing our All-Majors Virtual Career Fair website.

Job information related to where jobs are posted and what you are looking for.

This is based on whether you indicate this is full time or an internship, etc.

In your dashboard you can filter in a variety of sections based on student information.

Its best to add users that you want to have full access on the admin panel, you must invite these members and this up to your internal communication. You can give team members restricted abilities so that they cannot modify or change. All accounts are tired to the email associated with it.

Yes there is a video upload option.

There is not a fee for Jobseekers to participate.

The virtual chat room is always open; however, the hours companies are present are defined by their recruiters. Employers’ chat hours can be found with the list of registered employers by clicking on “Event Details” for that fair, when logged into your account.

Not all employers will send email invitations to their chat sessions so join the event and visit employers that interest you. You are welcome to visit any chat sessions during the fair.

This is completely up to the employer. Some employers use this forum for screening (and interviews take place afterward) while others conduct phone interviews, video interviews, or schedule in-person interviews during or after the event. Many employers make job offers to candidates found through the virtual career fairs. Important: Joining employers’ chat sessions is the first step in potentially securing a job offer.

Absolutely. Some employers use the Virtual Career Fair as a method to collect resumes and identify interested candidates. By applying to job postings and/or noting your interest in a specific employer through your account, the employer will be alerted to look at your resume. Employers then have the option to follow-up directly with candidates that match their criteria subsequent to the virtual event.

You are not required to accept a video chat. If you choose to participate in video chats, you will need a webcam and an updated version of either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

There is not a waiting list, just a natural ebb and flow of visitors. Recruiters may have a lot of traffic (just as in a live fair) and cannot reach everyone immediately. Remember that patience is highly appreciated by the recruiters and the right job is worth the wait!

Some companies may have different chat rooms to manage different hiring needs.

Nothing happens until the employer stops using their room. If they are engaged in active chats, they may continue past the hours if they wish. If they close their room, the chat session will be automatically ended and all visitors will be exited from their session.

Make sure you are using an updated version of a major browser. Please add the VCF url to your list of trusted sites. We highly recommend updated versions of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

While there is not a queue option in the CareerEco chat rooms, candidates can join several chat rooms concurrently and navigate between chat rooms by clicking the open chat room tabs at the top. Candidates receive an alert when there is new activity in an open chat room. Please be advised that when you close a chat room, your name also disappears from the list of candidates in that chat room.

This area allows students and employers to connect and network virtually, similar to in-person conversations at a career event. Please use this space to introduce yourself in a group or one-on-one setting, your background, company mission , and what your interests are. Employers have the option to then take the chat into a video call.

Companies are only able to view your name if you enter the chat room. If you want a company to have access to your resume and contact information you must log into their chat area. Please review CareerEco's privacy policy.
