Frequently
Asked Questions
What
is a "Virtual" Career Fair (VCF) and how does it work?
The Sinclair College Virtual Career Fair is a website that allows participating organizations to operate a "virtual" recruiting booth from any Internet ready computer.
Companies and organizations can provide information about their
products and services, current news, recruiting efforts, marketing
strategies, and career opportunities. This information, in turn,
will be browsed by interested Sinclair students and graduates
who wish to learn more about those companies. The Career Fair
allows employers and students to exchange information via email
or website in the same way as a physical Job Fair.
