The first giant career fair of the year dedicated specifically to our interests begins with “virtual company mixers” on the week of 25 October 2021.
What: Virtual company mixers for the Construction Career Expo
When: 25-29 October 2021, various times (schedule here)
Where: online via Zoom meetings
Why go: hear about companies, what they offer, and what they are looking for
This will help set you up for the in-person Construction Career Expo on November 8th. These virtual mixers are Zoom meetings with multiple breakout rooms. Each breakout room is hosted by a different company. You can read the plans for them here. It looks like you get randomly assigned to a breakout room and then a company has about 20 minutes to talk to you, and then the next company shows up.
