No need to leave home, VRS brings the career fair to you, and all you need is a computer with a high speed internet connection.
You can also access well before the virtual career fair starts in order to research the employers, find jobs of interest, and to actually apply. You can even send recruiters emails beforehand to ask any questions.
Okay, so I registered for the virtual career fair and I was impressed by how easy it was to setup a profile and enter the virtial lobby. VRS does a decent job at giving you the visual appearance of being at a brick-and-mortar job fair. Moving around the virtual area is easy and there is a virtual hostess providing instructions along the way. There are staff members available and ready to answer any questions you may have through the chat feature. The idea is pretty cool and getting to information about jobs available is quick and easy. I'm looking forward to interacting with recruiters on Friday.
