On-line event offers free company information and live job vacancies as well as webinars advising on working abroad
Dates for the 2009 Virtual Careers Fair have been announced.
The free graduate recruitment fair, organised by the publishers of 好色先生TV magazine, will run on the 18 and 19 February 2009.
The two-day online event was created to help industry professionals advance their career in the built environment.
The unique format of the Virtual Careers Fair has been designed to enable job-seekers to interact online with a wide range of employers.

鈥 Meet employers from the UK and abroad

鈥 Discuss career opportunities and development LIVE with leading companies
鈥 Increase industry knowledge through free online seminars
鈥 Network with fellow industry professionals globally
The event will also be offering a series of free online seminars, available for all registrants to take part in. These include:
