11 Frequently Asked Questions about the IC VCF The following FAQs have been compiled to give you a better understanding of the fair so you can focus the majority of your time on networking and gathering the information you need. If I m not submitting an application directly to the show, why do I need to create a profile and upload a resume? When you create your show profile, you have the opportunity to include a short bio and upload your resume. This helps recruiters know your qualifications at a glance when chatting with you. Resumes also will be provided on disk to all IC agencies at the conclusion of the event if you have provided your permission to do so. You are not required to upload a resume or complete your bio if you are uncomfortable sharing this information through the IC VCF platform. It may take a while to chat with recruiters. Why? Last year, more than 5,700 candidates participated in the fair s live event. A similar turnout is projected this year. While hundreds of recruiters staff the event, the high participant-to-staff ratio often equates to wait times for those requesting chats. To put it in perspective, imagine attending a career fair in person with thousands of other participants. You would most certainly expect to wait in line at various booths. By researching available career opportunities and preparing yourself in advance of the fair, you will maximize any chats that you have with recruiters and subject matter experts. Will chatting with recruiters serve as a first interview? No. This online event is informational. If a participating agency is interested, you will be contacted after the fair regarding telephone and in-person interviews. Why do I have to go to the agencies websites to apply for jobs? The virtual career fair environment is built for chatting, supplying informational materials, and playing video and audio presentations. All of the agencies participating in the fair will be using their own online application technologies, located on their respective websites. Each agency booth will have How to Apply instructions that will help you find featured job postings on each website. 11

12 Where are the jobs located? Are there any positions in my town? Most of the jobs featured at this year s virtual career fair are located in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area. That said, NGA will feature some jobs in St. Louis, and other agencies may feature some announcements with multiple openings across the nation. Read each job announcement carefully to discern geographic location. Where can I find more information about the participating agencies? In addition to reading this Participant Packet and reviewing the agencies websites prior to the fair, you will find more information in each of the Agency Booths. There, you will find informational materials and how to apply instructions. All of the materials will also be located in the Resource Center, plus you can find presentations in the Auditorium. Use the briefcase tool in your Profile to collect any materials you would like to keep and later download to your desktop. What happens next? The federal hiring process will be used for all jobs being highlighted at the fair. Please refer to the agency website to which you applied for details regarding that agency s hiring process. 12
