 ?\nThe Virtual Career Fair (VCF) is an online career fair for students and
  alumni across all majors that offers the opportunity to connect with empl
 oyers. These employers represent a range of career fields (review hiring d
 etails here). This year’s VCF will be on April 11\, 2018. Attend the fai
 r from anywhere!\n\nWhat can I do to prepare for a successful VCF?\nReview
  the organizations' profiles in advance (After logging in\, click "Event D
 etails" for this fair)\nDevelop a strategy - which companies do you most w
 ant to speak with?\n\nDecide how to allocate your time. Determine what tim
 es your target employers will be holding chat rooms.\nPrepare questions be
 fore joining a chat session\, or if you prefer\, you can review others' qu
 estions in the public chat.\nWrite your elevator pitch\, which you should 
 strictly use in private interactions with employers (do not post these in 
 the public chat room). Not all employers will send email invitations to th
 eir chat sessions so join the event and visit employers that interest you.
  You are welcome to visit any chat sessions during the fair.\n\nRecruiters
  may have a lot of traffic (just as in a live fair) and cannot reach every
 one immediately. Remember that patience is highly appreciated by the recru
 iters and the right job is worth the wait!\n\nWhat does a successful caree
 r fair experience look like for a participant?\nEveryone's goals & outcome
 s will be different. Here are some possibilities:Research the employment m
 arket\nDetermine which positions are a strong match for your background\nS
 ubmit job applications to employers' existing openings\nSecure an intervie
 w during or after the event\nSome 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 vir
 tual career fairs. Important: Joining employers’ chat sessions is the fi
 rst step in potentially securing a job offer.\n\n\nHow do I register for t
 he VCF?\nRegister at www.careereco.com/register/hirebig10Registration is a
 lready open and will be open through the end of the day of the Career Fair
 . Register early to give yourself time to study the list of participating 
 employers and opportunities.\nUpload your resume immediately after registe
 ring so employers will have access to it. Uploading your resume and/or cov
 er letter is the first step in making your materials available to particip
 ating employers. After you upload your documents into the system\, they ar
 e visible immediately for review by employers. Companies may begin screeni
 ng resumes prior to the event and also invite you to visit their specific 
 chat sessions and/or schedule video interviews before\, during\, or after 
 the event hours.\n\nAm I eligible to attend the fair?\nThe fair is free to
  attend for students and alumni from the 17 participating universities.\n\
 n\n\nWhat technology do I need to participate?\nParticipants need only a c
 omputer and internet access to participate. Webcams\, avatars\, and photos
  are NOT required. Interactions between employers and participants will be
  primarily through text chatting. (Employers do have the ability to initia
 te one-on-one video chats with you. If this is the case\, you should be dr
 essed as if you were going on an interview. Make that first impression a g
 ood one! We also recommend you check what is visible behind you so that th
 ere is nothing to distract the recruiter.) Note: it is acceptable to indic
 ate to an employer that you are unable to video chat\, if this is not an o
 ption for you at the time of the request.For the best experience\, partici
 pants should log on using an up-to-date version of Google Chrome (preferre
 d) or Firefox from a desktop/laptop\; these are required to be able to vie
 w/hear any multimedia broadcasts presented by employers. The most up-to-da
 te versions of Safari and Internet Explorer will also work\; however\, you
  will not be able to see presentations or participate in one-to-one video 
 chats.\nWhat employers will attend the fair?\nCheck out the list of regist
 ered employers: https://www.careereco.com/details/hirebig10\nEmployers wil
 l continue to register leading up to the VCF\, so make sure to check back 
 for an updated list. You may also express interest in employers directly o
 n this page when logged in by clicking the checkmark to the left of the em
 ployer's name on the list.\nWill there be job postings? Where can I find t
 hem?\nWhen logged into your account\, click the Job Board tab. Review job 
 postings and be informed about available positions and how to apply (and t
 hen you can formulate your questions for the chat room). Not all employers
  post positions.\nWho will be in an employer chat room?\nAn employer will 
 host a chat room where you and other participants can ask questions and co
 nverse. You may enter between one to three rooms at a time\; exit existing
  rooms to enter new ones. The organization representatives will be listed 
 once you are in the room. For confidential reasons\, chat visitors will be
  listed by first name and first initial of last name (you will see your ow
 n name in full). Private chatting is also possible between participants an
 d employers.\n\n\n\nWhat types of questions will employers be prepared to 
 answer?\nAfter you have done your research on the organization by reviewin
 g their profile\, and you notice specific jobs are posted in the Virtual F
 air\, you can ask about those jobs\, requirements\, and fit. You can also 
 ask about other opportunities. Questions about an organization's culture a
 nd future opportunities are also welcome. Ask questions that will help you
  assess whether an employer or opportunity would be a good fit for you.\nD
 o not ask personal questions\, or be too informal in your chatting. Note: 
 Do not post personal information such as phone number or email address in 
 the group chat. Only post this information in a private chat.\nCan I have 
 a private chat with an employer?\nAn employer can invite you to a private 
 chat. You will receive a notification next to the rep's name\, with a numb
 er to the left of their name indicating how many messages are waiting. Cli

  with them\; in these cases\, chat through the public chat).\nI noticed th
 at some employers listed job postings but are not hosting chat hours. Shou
 ld I still apply for their jobs?\nAbsolutely. Some employers use the Virtu
 al Career Fair as a method to collect resumes and identify interested cand
 idates. By applying to job postings and/or noting your interest in a speci
 fic employer through your account\, the employer will be alerted to look a
 t your resume. Employers then have the option to follow-up directly with c
 andidates that match their criteria subsequent to the virtual event.\nHow
