“Both passive and active job seekers can use virtual career fairs to their advantage to connect with employers,” said Ashley Collins, Education and Marketing Manager, AgCareers.com. “The number one piece of feedback we receive from job seekers is that they feel like their applications go into a black hole when they hit submit. Taking advantage of events like these two fairs offered by AgCareers.com will allow job seekers to have a conversation with the employer and make a connection through the application process,” said Collins. “We’re also very excited to bring this avenue to our community of skill and trade job seekers. Career fairs for that community can be limited while career opportunities are plentiful,” added Collins.
