The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa Career Center<\/a> (MCC<\/abbr>) is hosting a Virtual Career Fair on Wednesday, November 18, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., to help connect potential job seekers with employers, an especially important service during the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½<\/abbr> M\u0101noa students and alumni will have the opportunity to engage online with employers recruiting for full-time and internship positions.<\/p>\n

“Career fairs have been a mainstay in providing students with the opportunity to network and meet a number of employers. Especially during these times, the MCC<\/abbr> continues to find ways to keep students connected with employers to learn about evolving careers and workplaces,” said Wendy Sora<\/strong>, MCC<\/abbr> director. “We know that the overwhelming majority of students who take time to participate in career fairs find out about career options that they did not know of previously. We look forward to this upcoming virtual career fair using a professional platform that allows for resume uploads and unique employer virtual booths for one to one chats.”<\/p>\n

The fair will focus on one-on-one sessions and drop-in group sessions. Pre-registration is required<\/a> to attend the event, and uploading your resume is encouraged. Attendees are urged to make a virtual appointment with a career counselor at careers@hawaii.edu<\/a> or request a resume review prior. Questions can be emailed to manoacf@hawaii.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
