Rhonda Leece, who has been instrumental in initiating the first nationwide virtual careers fair for all University graduates in Australia and New Zealand, says it's easy for students to become complacent about representing themselves online.
Careers fairs are a fantastic opportunity for students to meet prospective employers.
At a Virtual Careers fair, you can take your time and meet a greater number of future employers without having to queue up, walk for kilometres or jostle crowds. But, at the same time, it's also important to remember to communicate clearly and professionally to prospective employers when you're meeting with them in a chat-room session. Big name career success stories such as ABC presenter and comedian, James O'Loughlin along with Tyrrell's Winery Managing Director, Mr Bruce Tyrrell, will be leading online chat rooms at scheduled times. Graduate employers who will be represented at the fair include the Reserve Bank of Australia, Commonwealth Bank, Accenture, Ford Australia, MIM Holdings Limited and many Federal Government Departments.
