Helpful, Gone, and I am the Career and Transfer Concert

Wonder Community College.
- 00:07 - 00:08
Today I want to talk about some things to keep
- 00:09 - 00:09
in mind.
- 00:09 - 00:11
We're prepping for a virtual job here.
- 00:12 - 00:14
Tip number one is you always want to register ahead
- 00:14 - 00:14
of time.
- 00:15 - 00:17
This guarantees your seat within the session.
- 00:18 - 00:21
It also allows you to identify which employers are participating
- 00:21 - 00:23
at any given time throughout the day.
- 00:25 - 00:25
Tip number two.
- 00:26 - 00:29
Once you've identified which employers you will be speaking with,
- 00:29 - 00:31
do you want to go ahead and do research on
- 00:31 - 00:31
that organization?
- 00:33 - 00:36
Toe. Identify their mission, their core values on what it
- 00:36 - 00:38
takes to be a part of their team.
- 00:40 - 00:40
Tip number three.
- 00:41 - 00:42
You want to make sure that you prepare your resume,
- 00:43 - 00:46
make sure that everything's up to date as much as
- 00:46 - 00:48
possible. You also want to make sure there's no grammatical
- 00:49 - 00:53
and spelling errors within documents and again read it over
- 00:53 - 00:55
and over and over again To make sure that the
- 00:55 - 00:57
document is complete, it's possible.
- 00:59 - 00:59
Tip number four.
- 01:00 - 01:02
You want to make sure your technology is ready to
- 01:03 - 01:04
go. I want to make sure your audio works.
- 01:05 - 01:07
Wanna make sure your microphone work so that you could
- 01:07 - 01:10
hear the employer and the employer can hear you.
- 01:11 - 01:12
The last thing we want is for you to folks
- 01:12 - 01:16
to have, ah, very thoughtful conversation and one person can
- 01:16 - 01:17
hear the other.
- 01:17 - 01:19
So make sure all your technology is good and ready
- 01:19 - 01:22
to go prior to the start of your virtual online
- 01:23 - 01:25
job. Recession and sit.
- 01:25 - 01:25
Number five.
- 01:26 - 01:28
You want to make sure that you are in a
- 01:28 - 01:32
distraction free zone, so you want any outside noises to
- 01:32 - 01:32
be limited.
- 01:33 - 01:35
You want to make sure, if at all possible, that
- 01:35 - 01:39
you find a background that suitable and professional for your
- 01:40 - 01:41
job. Fair session.
- 01:42 - 01:44
Right, because you don't want your employer to be distracted
- 01:45 - 01:47
by what's behind you on, and you want the employer
- 01:48 - 01:50
to focus solely on you and make sure that you
- 01:50 - 01:52
guys are maximizing your time together.
- 01:54 - 01:56
So those air five tips to keep in mind when
- 01:56 - 02:00
prepping for a virtual job, for one, register ahead of
- 02:00 - 02:02
time to research the organization.
- 02:04 - 02:05
Three. Prepare your resume.
- 02:06 - 02:09
Four. Make sure your technology is ready, and five.
- 02:10 - 02:11
Make sure you are in a distraction free zone.
- 02:12 - 02:15
I hope this helps and good luck on your virtual
- 02:15 - 02:15
job fair
