????對于如何脫穎而出，布朗給出了如下建議：

????注冊時測試技術(shù)環(huán)境。“大多數(shù)主辦方都要求應(yīng)聘者提前測試技術(shù)環(huán)境，確保技術(shù)環(huán)境在應(yīng)聘者電腦上運行流暢，但是有些人跳過了這個步驟，”布朗說。不要這么做?！澳悴幌Ｍ趹?yīng)聘過程中浪費時間下載Adobe Flash，或者不得不做的其他事?！?/p>

????使用具備專業(yè)水準的用戶名進行注冊。理想情況下，用戶名應(yīng)該是你的真實姓名，或者是你的姓名加上易于記住的一位或兩位數(shù)字。

????精選一張好照片以供上傳。否則，布朗說，招聘人員只會把你的照片當作“一張證人保護計劃中的空白、灰色頭像”。

????除了簡歷，再寫一份個人簡介。這份個人簡介代替現(xiàn)場介紹，簡略介紹你的住址、你感興趣的工作類型、你的優(yōu)點以及任何其他你想介紹，但是未在簡歷中體現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容。如果你不想這么做，而是想上傳一個簡短的視頻，通常情況下也是可以的。不管采取哪種方式，你都要加上自己的聯(lián)系信息，好讓招聘人員在之后回復(fù)你。

????堅持使用規(guī)范英語。“聊天室通常是非正式的，所以人們會使用短信白話、表情符號等，”布朗說?！暗?，你與招聘人員進行對話的這些聊天室要正式得多。”他甚至建議，提前把向特定用人單位提出的問題錄入到一個Word文檔中，認真校對，然后剪切并粘貼到聊天室中?！斑@聽起來可能過于挑剔，”他坦言。“但是你希望給人留下恰當且專業(yè)的印象?！?/p>

????記下招聘人員的電子郵件地址。電子郵件地址通常顯示在聊天室的屏幕上。你需要把它們記下來——并且加上注釋，以提醒自己誰是誰，以及你們交談的內(nèi)容——這樣你可以在招聘會結(jié)束后跟進，感謝招聘人員花費的時間，并提醒對方，你為什么會是一個非常好的雇員。

????衣著整潔，并將房間打掃干凈。當然，你可以在自己的宿舍中參加虛擬招聘會，周圍是派對的垃圾和未整理的床鋪，穿著自行車短褲和破爛的舊T恤衫。但是，萬一你夢想中的雇主邀請你視頻聊天呢？為了以防萬一，整理好你的房間，梳理好頭發(fā)，并且做好特寫鏡頭的準備。

????祝你好運！

????Brown offers a checklist of suggestions on how to stand out:

????Test the technology when you register. “Most sponsors ask you to test the technical environment ahead of time, to make sure it works smoothly with your computer, but some people skip this step,” says Brown. Don’t. “You don’t want to waste time downloading Adobe Flash, or whatever you might have to do, while the fair is going on.”

????Sign on with a professional-looking user name. Ideally, this should be your actual name, or your name plus an easy-to-remember digit or two.

????Have a good photo of yourself ready to upload. Otherwise, Brown says, you’ll be visible to recruiters only as “a blank gray avatar that makes you look like you’re in the Witness Protection Program.”

????Write a short profile, in addition to your resume. This takes the place of an in-person introduction, and tells briefly where you live, what kind of work you’re interested in, why you’d be a great hire, and anything else you’d like to say about yourself that your resume doesn’t cover. If you’d rather upload a short video instead, you usually can. Either way, include your contact information so recruiters can get back to you later.

????Stick with standard English. “Chat rooms are usually informal, so people use texting vernacular, emoticons, and so on,” Brown notes. “But these chat rooms, where you are conversing with recruiters, are much more formal.” He even suggests typing out questions for particular employers into a Word document beforehand, proofreading carefully, then cutting and pasting them into the chat room. “This might sound overly fussy,” he admits. “But you want to come across as correct and professional.”

????Make a note of recruiters’ email addresses. These usually show up on the screen in the chat rooms. You need to keep track of them—with notes to remind yourself of who was who, and what you talked about—so you can follow up when the fair is over, thanking the recruiter for her time and reminding her why you’d be a terrific hire.

????Dress neatly and clean up the room that’s behind you. Sure, you can attend a virtual career fair in your dorm room, surrounded by party debris and an unmade bed, dressed in bike shorts and a ratty old t-shirt. But what if the employer of your dreams invites you to video chat? Yikes. Just in case, clean up your space, comb your hair, and be ready for your close-up.

????Good luck!
