Find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the UHCC Virtual Career Fair
What is a virtual career fair?
A virtual career fair is an online event where organizations and participants meet in a virtual space (virtual booth), using video conferencing and chat boxes to exchange information about career and job opportunities as well as career resources.
What is a virtual booth and what will happen when I visit one?
A “virtual booth” represents the Zoom breakout room an organization is assigned to host. In the virtual booth, representatives from the organization will host a 20 minute information session. In this time they'll speak about their organization, opportunities, and address questions you may have.
I'm not looking for a job right now. Should I still attend the career fair?
Yes! We strongly recommend you attend the fair even if you're not looking for a job. Professionals across various industries will be at the fair ready to share advice, insights, and/or resources related to their industry or organization. This is a unique opportunity during challenging times to network, so we hope you'll take advantage of the fair.
Will the events be recorded? Can I have access to the recordings if I missed an event?
