Online Virtual Career Fair

 In an effort to put Kentuckians back to work, the Kentucky Career Center (KCC), in conjunction with the U.S. LTU Hiring Project, will host its first ever virtual career fair Oct. 14.  ET and is free to job seekers. The online career fair will provide multiple job search access from the convenience of a single point-of-entry website. Interested job seekers can register for the event at http://www.projecthirekentucky.com/registration/. 
Like traditional career fairs, the virtual career fair will take place on a specific day and time in order to create a sense of urgency for candidates.  After logging in via their computers, tablets or smartphones, job seekers will be able to visit company booths, view documents, speak with recruiters and hiring managers and apply for job openings in a variety of fields in one digital setting. Once the event goes live, attendees also will have access to a variety of useful presentations they can use to gain an edge in the employment process including appropriate language for the virtual environment and follow-up notes to employers.
