You’re registered for a virtual career fair at OSU, now what?
OSU Career Services will be using the Career Fair Plus platform for all of our fairs this fall. Once registered for the fair, please review our timeline and follow this step-by-step guide so you can become familiar with the virtual fair process and find success connecting with OSU students and alumni.
If you would like an idea and a thorough overview of what virtual Career Fairs will look and feel like at OSU, we recommend signing up for a Recruiter Webinar provided by Career Fair Plus. Webinars run weekly on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons.
The two main features students and recruiters will utilize during the virtual career fairs are the drop-in video chat rooms and the one-on-one appointment schedules.
Drop-In Video Chat Room: Each company has ONE drop in video chat room. This can be accessed by multiple recruiters and up to fifty students at a time. This is a great place for students to pop in and introduce themselves, ask basic questions and get to know the company. If you want to get familiar with the drop-in video chat room now, click here.
Appointment Schedules: Each company has access to one-on-one appointment schedules during the duration of the virtual career fairs. These appointments should act as a replacement of the physical handshake and interaction at the in-person event.
Appointment schedules consist of short timeslots where students can visit one-on-one with a recruiter, briefly discuss their resume and the opportunities available within the company.
Students can sign up for appointments before and during the virtual career fairs.
Keep in mind, they should not be managed as an interview, but as informal and casual opportunities to connect with students.
Action Items:
Submit your recruiter’s information to your recruiting partner.
In order to create accounts for your recruiters, please send:
After August 17th, you will receive an email with instructions on how to create an account and edit your schedule of appointments for the day of the career fair.
The link in your email is valid for 14 days. After 14 days, please reach out to us at careers@okstate.edu to resend your email invitation
Follow the instructions in the email and view the how-to videos below (or follow our step-by-step instructions) to create an account and edit your career fair appointments.
If you have any questions the morning before the fair, we will have a live Employer Helpdesk where the Career Services team will be available to answer questions and help with technical difficulties.
Login to your account and click the link to join either your drop-in video chat room or your one-on-one appointment room, depending on your role during the virtual career fair.
We recommend using the Career Fair Plus app on your phone in conjunction with the desktop platform. The app offers places for notes, student ratings, a timer, and additional features that you won’t find on the desktop version.
Career Fair Plus stores all of your appointments and the associated student profiles. From your appointment schedule, you can export all of this data at the end of the fair or any time thereafter.
