How should you prepare?

Register Early - Participating companies have the ability to invite canididates to a chat even before the day of the event.  Make sure to register early to put your name and qualifications at the top of their lists.  

Upload Your Resume Ahead of Time - Do a solid read-through of your resume before the event and upload it a couple days before. We know employers prefer to hire someone who comes prepared, and the ability to point them to your resume with ease and speed will only help your engagement with recruiters.

Research the Companies - Login before the event, research the participating employers in advance, prioritize the booths, and prepare questions that are specific to each employer you’ve identified as ones you hope to chat with. Thoughtful questions should be about the company culture and climate, professional and staff development, etc.

Maximize Your Effort  - It’s in your best interest as a job seeker to wait in as many chat lines as possible. While you wait in line, you can check out content that the employer has provided ahead of time in their booth; leave a question in the public discussion feeds for other job seekers to weigh in on; check out resources in the content bar from the lobby;  or even do work in another tab in your browser. You will hear an audible "ding" (make sure your sound is on!) notification when it is your turn to chat.

Post-Event Take Notes - You will be taken to a chat conclusion page when your conversation has ended. This page will allow you to rate your chat and take notes about the representative or anything that was discussed. It's important to add notes and rate your chat, especially if you participate in more than one conversation. In the navigation bar at the left of your screen, locate the "History" icon, which will always take you to your chat history. You can read your chat transcripts, view your ratings, the representative’s profiles, and a booth overview for each chat. This page will only show the chat history for this specific event.

Follow Up - We know how important this follow-up is, so the platform enables you to connect after the event by saving conversations and contact details from each chat. In the navigation bar at the left of your screen, locate the "History" icon, which will always take you to your chat history. You can read your chat transcripts, view your ratings, the representative’s profiles, and a booth overview for each chat. This page will only show the chat history for this specific event. If you were able to grab contact information, make sure to send follow-up and thank you emails after the fair that emphasize your interest!

Please note that all job seekers are welcome to participate in the WiM Virtual Career Fairs, regardless of gender identity.
