The Virtual Careers Fair

The Virtual Careers Fair is on again in 2005! Running from 10 to 24 March, this is the largest online Careers Fair to be staged in Australia, and is open to students of all universities.

Log on to the VCF at www.vcf.gradlink.edu.au for a range of careers-related activities, including hosted forums, “Q&A” sessions, interview games, practice online testing, graduate employer profiles and more!

The Virtual Careers Fair is the biggest event of its type and was established in 2001, subsequently running each year. In 2004, the VCF had over 400,000 page views, 71 exhibitors, student visitors from 31 institutions, featured 52 hosted forums, and it remains an excellent way for graduate employers to reach out to a diverse student audience, irrespective of geography.
