You can start looking through the employers that will be attending your virtual fair without needing to create an account.
When you’re ready to start scheduling appointments, you will need to create an account and build your profile.
Watch this video to see how:
Make sure you build a complete profile that includes your resume as well as other relevant information. This is the profile employers will see when you make appointments to meet them, so you want to make a good impression!
Scheduling appointments
As you browse the employers who will be at the virtual fair, you can schedule appointments to meet with them virtually.
- Tap on the employer you are would like to meet with and then tap ‘Virtual Appointments’ to see the schedules they have available
- Select the schedule that you’re interested in; employers may have multiple schedules
- Select a time that works for you, and hit ‘YES’ to book the appointment slot
If you are not signed in, you will be prompted to sign in. If you have not yet created an account, you must do so at this stage in order to schedule appointments.
Don’t forget, appointments are first-come, first-serve, so if there is an employer you want to meet with, don’t wait to schedule an appointment with them!
