Students and employers come together in a 3D virtual career fair.

Students of the Big East We are very excited about the Students of the Big East event, and look forward to demonstrating just how interactive a Unicruit virtual fair can be to organizations looking to reduce carbon and cost sometimes associated with college recruiting

Jamison, PA (PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- Unicruit announces the first of what will be a series of virtual career fairs in coming months. The “Students of the Big East” virtual career fair will be held on February 25th and is open to students from the following schools:

Plaza

University of Cincinnati, Providence College, University of Connecticut, Rutgers University, DePaul University, St. Johns University, Georgetown University, Seton Hall University, University of Louisville,    University of South Florida, Marquette University, Syracuse University, University of Notre Dame, Villanova University, University of Pittsburgh, West Virginia University

The event will launch at 9:30am on February 25th, followed by 45 days of on-demand, online interactivity. students will have an opportunity to register for the event, view company videos, presentations, webcasts, chat live with company reps, video interview, and communicate in a virtual student lounge with peers and hiring managers from several of the largest employers in the world. The event will be limited to 20 companies and is already 75% full.

Kevin O'Brien Unicruit's CEO says: "We are very excited about the Students of the Big East event, and look forward to demonstrating just how interactive a Unicruit virtual fair can be to organizations looking to reduce carbon and cost sometimes associated with college recruiting”.

With U.S. unemployment at 10.2% as of August 2009 according to the Department of Labor, students are finding it tougher than at any other time in the last 7 decades to find suitable work post graduation. Many organizations have made the decision to cut back or eliminate their on campus recruiting efforts during these tough economic times. Unicruit’s unique virtual fair technology allows them full interaction with students from several schools at one time, and with no need for travel or carbon emission.

Employers stand to gain a serious advantage from Unicruit's unique service. Socially responsible companies looking to cut recruiting costs and reduce their carbon footprint can interact with students without having to leave the office. Recruiters will have access to a larger base of students, since not all eligible candidates are able to attend onsite job fairs. Companies will be able to make better use of their time when on campus interviewing instead of screening applicants. their company's information and interactive elements will be available on Unicruit.com for 45 days after the live event takes place.

O’Brien states, “We are confident after demonstrating just how easy and user friendly the Unicruit application is that employers and Universities will view Unicruit as the go to source for all their virtual recruiting needs. If you are interested in participating in this event, or would like more information, please send an email to: bigeastvirtualfair (at) unicruit.com
