Ain't no party like a virtual party.

Assignment 6: Attending a virtual event.

I would like you to attend and report on one virtual event.

1. Which event did you attend? How did you go about attending this event?

I attended a Unisfair job information event. I learned about this event during one of our class discussions. It sounded interesting to me so I went to the website and filled out a quick registration form and there I was!

2. What happened? Did anything unexpected happen?

Not much. When I signed on there was only one 'booth' or representative online...so there wasn't a whole lot going on.

3. Was this experience any good? Would recommend it to others? Why or why not?

The experience was interesting but unsuccessful. I would not recommend this to other people. The concept is extremely cool and could potentially be a great resource (especially for someone like me who is soon to graduate college), however I don't think the idea was carried out in a sophisticated way. The graphics of the website were very good, but the interface and layout were very confusing. Also, this website seemed like more of a marketing tool for companies as opposed to a tool for users to find employment. It seemed to me that most of the companies at the job fair were pushing their agendas and social networking...not hiring.
