What's in my profile?

MY RESUME
Uploading your resume takes seconds to do. Click and select the file on your computer. Before you upload your resume, be sure to update it and proofreda...oops. That's what we mean. Proofread. Have a friend or colleague take a look.
-
HEADLINE
If you were a news article, this would be your title. Capitalize the main words. Use action, experience and qualities that describe you. Avoid clichés like the plague. Punctuation is not necessary!!!!
-
key words
Too often, job seekers leave this area blank because they think the resume has it covered. Don't. This is how employers will search through hundreds of job seekers to get to YOUR resume.
-
my picture
Uploading a photo of you is completely optional. If you choose to do so, please keep it professional. More like LinkedIn and less like Facebook.
Try the Demonstration!
Step-by-step instructions and new demonstration experience are provided below.
Please read through all the tips below before starting. You must be logged in to your Job Seeker Account to enter the Job Fair Demonstration.
Tips before the Demonstration
Use Chrome Browser
If the Live Job Fair link opens in a non-supported browser like Safari or Internet Explorer, copy and paste the link in a Chrome browser window.
Alternatively, you can use the most recent versions of Microsoft Edge and Firefox browsers. Be sure you are using the latest version.
Accept Permissions
The browser may request permission to use your web cam and microphone. This is normal.
You will need to accept both web cam and microphone to enter the Live Job Fair.
Mobile Device Users
When the job fair window connects, you will need to “show” or “hide” the keypad by clicking the icon in top-left corner of the mobile screen.
If you are on a slower wi-fi connection, the job fair may take a few extra seconds to load.
Only a Demo
Keep in mind this is for demonstration purposes only. (So, If you're hanging out in there too long, it might get lonely.) You will not use this link for scheduled job fairs.
Your web cam will be on, just as it will be on the day of a scheduled job fair. However you will not be recorded if you choose to leave a message.
