Virtual Career Fair Information

Starting today and continuing through tomorrow, The University of Tennessee along with Mississippi State University and Auburn University, will host a Virtual Career Fair for Engineering, Technical and Logistics Majors. Students and Alumni are invited to participate in this unique virtual event that helps job seekers meet employers in an efficient, environmentally-conscious way.




If you are currently in the process of looking for a job or a way to network with various companies, this is an excellent opportunity for you. A virtual career fair is conducted via the internet which in the end saves you time and money. Numerous companies (such as Amazon, Proctor & Gamble, and US Xpress) will be in attendance. To see a complete listing of the companies click here. Below are a few of the many advantages for attending the virtual career fair:


• Connect with employers from the convenience of a computer

• Avoid standing in long lines

• Upload your resume once

• Environmentally friendly

• …..and it’s FREE!


Although participants will not attend the fair in person there are still some tips to keep in mind. For your convenience, a slideshow tutorial is on the website to aid you in registering and preparing for the fair. Most of the participating companies do not require you to have the video chat feature available, but if you are interested in a company that does there is no need to worry. Come on into career services on the day of the virtual career fair to use one of our mock interview rooms (available on a first come first serve basis).

Register for the fair today. Once you complete your online profile and upload your resume, you even have a chance to win an iPod nano.

If you have any questions, please contact Career Services at (865) 974-5435.
