Unisfair's CareerRookie Online Carreer Fair is going on today September, 29th and boy is it an Epic Success! The fair on Facebook click here for registration and event info
Let me explain why because I have no idea how many people are actually attending. I think it is a sucess because it is a revolutionary way to interact on the web. Now not revolutionary in that it is a new concept, but revolutionary in the fact that they are doing the concept.
They have created a virtual campus so to speak with pavillions and booths within the pavillions for an enduser to visit based on thier needs. There is an engineering pavillion, sales pavillion, and an internship pavillion. The navigation is very intuitive and the ability for the involved companies to share themselves with you using chat, commercial type video, and flash animated information boxes works pretty good on this average machine that I have.
My only disappointment is the booths for which I can visit, my apologies, but I walked out of a career fair at Purdue University because they are only offering jobs with large comppanies who I feel do more harm than good on this planet. Companies such as Dow Chemicals, Kellogs, and Sunoco are the ones present at Unisfair's CareerRookie Online Career Fair. (disclaimer: this is only my opinion and values here which may or may not be valid or important to others, but i think they are)
Personally I want to work for Unisfair and persuade them to bring in smaller more environmentally responsible and socially responsible companies. I am also wondering why in the world are they not doing it in Silverlight! And who is. Quite personally I imagine Bono doing music concert in Africa being smoothstreamed live over the internet with all kinds of local African community groups sharing with the world their projects and the impact that U.S. decisions are indirectly or directly having on their welfare. And also sharing with the world thier success stories and innovative spirit.
Now let me share with you a quick photoshopped images of what it looks like to be in the CareerRookie Online Career Fair so you can see for yourself why you should check out Unisfair's CareerRookie Career Fair if only to see how it should be done.
