MiVirtualCareerFair is the next greatest trend of networking and communication with employers. It’s convenient for employers and job-seekers alike because you only need to have a computer and internet connection to participate. No need to travel across state or prepare for an entire day’s event at a career fair.

 

Interviews are not guaranteed during or after the event. All job openings posted during the events are accessible to participants for 30 days after event. Post-event, job-seekers can return to the environment and apply for more job opportunities during the 30-day post event reporting period.
