Virtual career fairs are no longer the future — they're happening now. And while the format is convenient, the competition is just as real as any in-person event.
At the Virtual Emiratisation Career Fair, registered candidates get direct access to live video interviews with employers who are actively hiring national talent. That means your preparation, your presence, and your professionalism on camera all matter.
We put together this step-by-step video tutorial to help you show up ready.
Here's a quick summary of what you'll learn in the video:
1. Technical Setup Test your camera, microphone, and internet connection the day before — not the morning of. Use a laptop or desktop, and stick to Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge with the latest version installed.
2. Your Environment Choose a quiet, well-lit space with a clean background. Make sure your light faces you, your camera is at eye level, and you’re dressed professionally from head to toe.
3. On-Camera Presence Look at the camera lens — not the screen. This reads as direct eye contact to the employer. Sit up straight, speak at a measured pace, and stay actively engaged throughout.
4. What to Prepare Research the employer before your slot. Prepare two or three questions to ask them. Know your CV, have a confident personal introduction ready, and keep a notepad beside you.
5. During the Interview Greet warmly, pause before answering, and use the STAR method for behavioural questions — Situation, Task, Action, Result. Stay positive and composed throughout.
6. Closing Strong Express genuine interest, ask your prepared questions, and always ask about next steps. Thank the interviewer by name and follow up the same day.
