This interactive virtual event takes place 2-3 times per year and guides attendees through the planning, preparation, and action stages of the job search process. The expo aims to:
1. Educate
Devant's live pre-event workshop, hosted by our Career Advisors, is created to prepare students for the expo.
It includes the latest resume and virtual interviewing tips, introductions to the event platform & participating employers, and networking in break-out rooms.
2. Connect
Our AI-driven event platform enables attendees to seamlessly interact with each company, upload their resumes, and book 1:1 virtual interviews.
Our online networking cafe is an inspiring space to share experiences and connect with like-minded peers.
3. Get Hired
Employers and attendees can communicate via live Q&As or 1:1 virtual interviews on any device. Plus, attendees can boost their employability with free credentials and career development events at Devant.
What Students Are Saying...
I landed my dream internship by attending the 'Get Hired at Home' virtual expo!
I attended 'Get Hired at Home' and was able to ask an Oracle NetSuite recruiter my questions about their opportunities and the organization, as well as connect with them on LinkedIn to stay in touch. We had conversations about my career interests and my previous experiences and it eventually helped me secure a summer internship with NetSuite!
I think overall, the event was very well organized and had the right organizations who were looking to give international students a chance. It was easy to navigate and get in touch with representatives of the organizations. I was thoroughly impressed by the setup and the support for international students!
