Tips For a Successful Virtual Career Fair
Follow these best practices to help you in your interview process.
1
Dress for Success
Even though you may be interviewing from home, it is important to dress professionally. While you don't necessarily need to wear a full suit or a dress, a button up shirt with a tie for men and a nice shirt for women will show you off as a professional.
2
Plan in Advance
Since this is a timed event, plan ahead answers to common questions. These could include your elevator pitch, previous jobs, strengths and weaknesses, and more. Having these written in advance will save you time as you communicate with several companies.
3
Setup Your Device Early
First impressions are everything in an interview. This is no different in-person or virtually. Take the time before the event to test your device for sound and video. If possible, use natural lighting from nearby windows or find another light source to present yourself well.
