You may have been to a career fair before — it’s quite an experience: joining hundreds (or thousands) of job seekers, all in one place, to meet employers who have positions to fill.<\/span>

Great if you happen to be in the same neighborhood — but not so convenient if you’re a few hundred miles away.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nAs part of our continuing efforts to help job seekers manage their careers and find great jobs, Monster Malaysia<\/a> is hosting a Virtual Career Fair (VCF) an online version of the traditional career fair, with all the benefits of a live event (but without the long queues!)<\/span><\/p>

Monster Malaysia Virtual Career Fair will run from
\nJune 22nd -26 th 2015.  <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

If you’re an aspiring job seeker register today<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>

Each employer will have its own ‘virtual’ booth with the information about the company and the jobs available. <\/span><\/p>

Also, you can interact with employers and put your queries to them. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection with Skype and you’re all set to communicate and engage with employers and apply for jobs in a virtual environment. <\/span><\/p>

Get Prepared: 3 Tips for Success in Monster Virtual Career Fair<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

As with any job interview or in-person career fair, being prepared is key. <\/span><\/p>

1. Make sure your resume is up-to-date. <\/strong>Your resume is one of the first things that potential employers see first, it’s important to proofread it carefully and highlight your top accomplishments clearly.<\/span><\/p>

2. Research employers. <\/strong>You never want to enter a conversation with an employer without knowing a little bit its goals, its products, and its mission. See the list of participating employers at the bottom of this post; then go to the company websites and do a bit of research. This is knowledge that will serve you well during the fair.<\/span><\/p>

3. Set some career goals.<\/strong> Instead of saying that you’re ‘open to any opportunities’, mention your professional strengths, specific skills and interests. This will increase your chances to land a job. <\/span><\/p>

Spend a little time to list your goals to target your efforts (this is much more effective than scattershot applications). You may also create an elevator pitch or a personal brand statement that will help you explain the value you can bring to an employer, in easy-to-remember sound bites. <\/span><\/p>
