After you’ve secured your spot by registering using the Eventbrite link, you’ll have to follow these next steps.
To participate in the virtual career fair, you must first be registered for the
Military Spousal Employment Network (MSEN).
The virtual career fair is appointment based only. To connect with an MSEN employer partner representatives during the event, you must book an appointment.
To book an appointment:
- Go to the booth of the employer you would like to connect with and click on the “Book an appointment” widget.
- A window will pop up allowing you to select the day you'd like to make your appointment on. Please note the default calendar is set in Eastern Time zone. The local time zones in the “Appointment Widget” is for your view only. All communication for your appointments will always be set to “Eastern Time Zone”. Select your preferred day then click "Select Time Slot."
- Select the rep and time slot that works best for you. Confirm your day and time and then click "Review Booking."
- A new window will appear confirming the details of your booking. If everything looks good, click "Confirm Booking".
- Please note, you can only book one appointment with an employer. If you already have a booking scheduled with that organization, a message will prompt saying “You have already booked an appointment with this employer”. You can change your appointment time by simply cancelling your current appointment in your appointment widget and rebooking the new time.
- You will receive an email confirmation of your confirmed booking. If you'd like, you can also add the booking to your personal calendar. This will ensure you get a reminder that your appointment is about to begin.
- Once you have made your desired appointments, click the "Your Appointment Schedule" widget, to review your bookings. This is the bright green tab on the left of your screen.
- Inside your appointment widget you will see all your booked appointments listed. On the day of the career fair, when it is time for your appointment, click on "Click here to Chat" to initiate the session.
- A chat window will open between you and the rep. Information about the rep will be displayed on the right of the chat box. Reps often include information about the specific roles, language profiles or geographic locations they are recruiting for, so be sure to review. During your live chat you can choose to stick with text messaging, or you can move to an audio or video call by clicking on the phone icon. If you plan on doing a video call, be sure to check the view behind you as the platform does NOT offer the option to blur your background. It is of utmost importance that you hang up after each call to be able to start a new call in your next appointment.
Please note that appointments only become available a couple of days before the virtual career fair, so it is normal for you not to see the appointment booking option if we aren’t close to a virtual career fair date.
While we encourage all candidates to book their appointments prior to the virtual career fair, you do have the opportunity to do so during the virtual career directly from the ‘Chat widget”. That means real time, instant bookings. Be sure to check your “Appointment widget” to ensure you don’t miss any appointments.
