Steve Testerman president of BROKERHUNTER.com said, "We are pleased to announce that our second Virtual Career Fair will be held on October 22, 2008. Due to the great success of our first event in June we are excited to be able to offer this type of exciting online event to help our candidates and employers connect in a very productive and meaningful way. The success of this format has proven that the time has come for the use of advanced Virtual technology in a way that helps connect Financial Services job seekers with potential employers."
"Virtual Career Events offer nearly all the benefits, without most of the really big hassles, of a physical event. For example, job candidates can visit multiple employer booths at the event and interact, if they choose, through instant messaging and chat. They can even apply to jobs online. All of this is available online and live through the convenience of the user's personal computer. This makes for a highly efficient and productive process for job candidate and employer alike," Testerman said.
"As with our last event, we expect to have thousands of job candidates attending booths staffed and sponsored by many of the leading Financial Services employers in the industry"
