<P class=MsoNormal>Dick Davis has asked me to post to this list. I have
already
sent this to our Illinois employers. It might be a good chance to engage
employers who cannot make it to a national convention which is in person.
This
could be a good way to reach out to supporters in our states. Of course, we
should all share this with job seekers as well. Hope you find it helpful.

Career
Fair will be on Zoom. Our plan is to give each employer a Zoom room. At
every
hour and half-hour, employers will be expected to provide an overview of
their
organization and employment opportunities, leaving time for questions from
jobseekers before the next overview begins. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

having
at least one recruiter to provide the overview and talk to jobseekers, it
will
be necessary for each employer to provide an individual to manage the Zoom
room,
mute participants, and allow individuals to ask questions. Jobseekers who
have
attended one half-hour session should be asked to leave the Zoom room to
allow
space for new people. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
