According to wtop.com, "The online job fair includes a virtual lobby where job seekers can enter each company’s virtual booth, view open positions and chat live one-on-one with human resources representatives. The authority plans other virtual job fairs with local companies in the future. The next one will be scheduled in June, and specifically will be for seasoned, mid-level tech professionals in IT, cybersecurity, defense and aerospace, software engineering, and data analytics."
Fairfax County Economic Development Authority President and CEO Victor Hoskins said, "As a result of COVID-19, this is not the same job market that this year’s graduates envisioned entering even a few months ago, and that is why we’re working with corporate and academic partners on these virtual career fairs to get grads and students contact with companies in our region that are hiring."
