Revolutionary online job fair attracted 17,000 visitors from February 5 - 9The Virtual Job Fair allowed jobseekers and employers the opportunity to interact though the flexible medium of an online platform, giving access to traditional job fair facilities but with the added convenience of being able to attend from anywhere within the world.

"At Bayt.com , we are committed to assisting all those in the employment field, whether jobseekers or employers, to find the ideal solution for their needs. This is our 5th VJF in the region, and we look forward to many more to come. The statistics of this one demonstrate the geographical diversity that the easy to use platform is capable of attracting."
The Bayt.com VJF presents a unique concept; jobseekers are able to fully interact with potential employers through a virtual environment, styled to look like a real job fair. Using a range of digital tools, such as chat rooms, webcasts and webinars, jobseekers and employers can exchange information. Jobseekers can search available jobs and can submit their CVs, while employers can interact through virtual 'booths' where they can share presentations, reports, and information about their companies.
The next Virtual Job Fair will take place in Qatar in April.Candidates will be able to apply for jobs 24/7, at their own convenience.
