C.W. Post Virtual Career Fair Brings Together
Companies and Job Seekers On-line
With the opportunity of the Internet and its ease of accessibility,
on-line job searching has become one of the primary vehicles
for individuals looking for employment. In keeping pace with
this trend, the Professional Experience and Placement Office
(PEP) at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville
has jumped on the technological bandwagon to offer more services
and information to students via the Internet.
This December, PEP will launch a Virtual Career Fair, where
students and graduates of C.W. Post can explore "virtual
booths" which contain information about job openings and
career options with a variety of companies. In turn, participating
companies can access an on-line resume database to locate qualified
prospective employees. The Fair will be accessible 24 hours a
day via a button on the PEP website (www.liu.edu/pep)
from December 1 to 15. A spring Virtual Career Fair is slated
for March 2000.
According to Jeanette Grill, director of PEP, the Virtual
Career Fair is an extension of the many career services offered
through her office. "For years, our office has enjoyed one
of the highest job placement rates in the nation. Our new Virtual
Career Fair will facilitate the networking experience for our
students while assisting businesses from every sector find suitable
candidates for their organizations."
To participate in the Virtual Career Fair, job seekers must
be current students or alumni of any Long Island University campus.
