What Our School & District Partners Are Saying

"The (April 15, 2020) Diversity in Ed Virtual Recruitment Fair was like no other as I had the opportunity to meet and speak with teacher candidates from across the nation. Everything from the aesthetic of the virtual fair to the overall support from the Diversity in Ed team was outstanding. I had over 200 booth visitors, many of which expressed interest in our district! I definitely recommend this education fair to all school districts interested in recruiting teacher talent!”

Jason Acosta
NYC Men Teach Diversity Recruitment Manager, New York City Department of Education

"When we think about diversity in education, we often think about diversity in ethnicity first and foremost, but DIVERSITY in Ed is also committed to expanding what diversity in education recruitment means. Diversity is also about diversity in strengths, approaches, and experiences. At the DIVERSITY in Ed Virtual Fair, the candidates we were able to attract were diverse in multiple ways, and our principals are very satisfied with the caliber of candidates.”

Najjah Thompson
Recruitment & Engagement Specialist , Madison Metropolitan School District

What Our Job-Seekers Are Saying

"DIVERSITY in Ed introduced me to the company I was interested in working for, which was Mastery Charter Schools. On the job posting for the position I was pursuing, they stated they would be at the DIVERSITY in Ed Job Fair. I figured it would be a great opportunity to meet the recruiters for that position. So I registered, attended, and got the job I was looking for!"

Brittany J.
Teacher Candidate (Hired by Mastery Charter School)

"Having exposure to many different districts from all over was great! I got to speak with representatives in real time. I made many connections and set up interviews during and after event. Recruiters are still contacting me."

Frequently Asked Questions

Add Settings

What is the Virtual Recruitment Fair?

The Virtual Recruitment Fair is an online career fair platform that extends the opportunity for new and experienced job-seekers to connect with employers looking to recruit and hire diverse talent. (Mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and desktops are all compatible.)

Am I eligible to attend the fair?

Yes, every new and experienced, job seeking is welcomed.

What are the benefits to job seekers?

Find open career opportunities that match your interests and qualifications
Upload resumes and other supporting documents for employers to review
Review in-depth career and company information prior to virtual career fair to customize resumes
Engage in real-time individual and group chats with recruiters
Apply to jobs and schedule interviews
It’s FREE to participate

What can I do to prepare for a successful virtual recruitment fair?

Review the organizations' profiles in advance.
Develop a strategy - which employers do you most want to speak with?
Prepare questions before joining a chat session, or if you prefer, you can review others' questions in the public chat.
Write your elevator pitch, which you should strictly use in private interactions with employers (do not post these in the public chat room).
Not all employers will send email invitations to their chat sessions so join the event and visit employers that interest you. You are welcome to visit any chat sessions during the fair.

What does a successful career fair experience look like for a participant?

Everyone's goals & outcomes will be different. Here are some possibilities:

Research the employment market
Determine which positions are a strong match for your background
Submit job applications to employers' existing openings
Secure an interview during or after the event

Some employers use this forum for screening (and interviews take place afterward) while others conduct phone interviews, video interviews, or schedule in-person interviews during or after the event. Many employers make job offers to candidates found through the virtual career fairs.
Important: Joining employers’ chat sessions is the first step in potentially securing a job offer.

How do I register for the Virtual Recruitment Fair?

Register at https://diversityined.vfairs.com or the state specific recruitment fair of your interest. Pre-registration is already open and will be open through the end of the day of the Career Fair. Register early to give yourself time to study the list of participating employers and opportunities.
Upload your resume immediately after registering so employers will have access to it. Uploading your resume and/or cover letter is the first step in making your materials available to participating employers. After you upload your documents into the system, they are visible immediately for review by employers. Companies may begin screening resumes prior to the event and invite you to visit their specific chat sessions and/or schedule video interviews before, during, or after the event hours.

What technology do I need to participate?

Participants need only a computer and internet access to participate. Webcams, avatars, and photos are NOT required. Interactions between employers and participants will be primarily through text chatting. (Employers do have the ability to initiate one-on-one video chats with you. If this is the case, you should be dressed as if you were going on an interview. Make that first impression a good one! We also recommend you check what is visible behind you so that there is nothing to distract the recruiter.) Note: it is acceptable to indicate to an employer that you are unable to video chat, if this is not an option for you at the time of the request.
For the best experience, participants should log on using an up-to-date version of Google Chrome (preferred) or Firefox from a desktop/laptop; these are required to be able to view/hear any multimedia broadcasts presented by employers. The most up-to-date versions of Safari, Internet Explorer 11, and Microsoft Edge will also work.

What employers will attend the fair?

Check out the list of registered employers. Employers will continue to register leading up to the Virtual Recruitment Fair, so make sure to check back for an updated list.

Will there be job postings? Where can I find them?

When logged into your account, click the Jobs tab. Review job postings and be informed about available positions and how to apply (and then you can formulate your questions for the chat room). Not all employers post positions.

Who will be in the employer chat room?

An employer will host a chat room where you and other participants can ask questions and converse. The organization representatives will be listed once you are in the room. Private chatting is also possible between participants and employers.

Do actual interviews take place during the fair?

Yes, but this is completely up to the employer. Some employers use this forum for screening (and interviews take place afterward) while others conduct phone interviews, video interviews, or schedule in-person interviews during or after the event. Many employers make job offers to candidates found through the virtual recruitment fairs.
Important Note: Joining employers’ chat sessions is the first step in potentially securing an interview that may lead to a job offer.

What if an employer wants to hold a video chat?

You will need a webcam to participate in video chats or receive their audio/video broadcasts.

If there are a number of attendees trying to chat at the same time, will there be a waiting list in order of who joined the session first?

There is not a waiting list, just a natural ebb and flow of visitors. Recruiters may have a lot of traffic (just as in a live fair) and cannot reach everyone immediately. Remember that patience is highly appreciated by the recruiters and the right job is worth the wait!

What are the benefits to employers and their Human Resources recruiters?

Access a national pool of job-seeking candidates of bilingual and diverse backgrounds
Manage your own company chat room and sessions with unlimited recruiters
Interact with candidates as a group or privately
Tool to conduct video interviews
Access to search and screen resumes from database of registered candidates
Company profile, logo, and job postings
Technology to include pre-recoded video presentations and/or live presentations
Save time, travel, and staff required to participate in all day, on-site events
Eliminate transportation and overhead costs associated with booth design and production
