Dear Looking for the Next Step:
We will be hosting a global 24-hour virtual Career Conference on November 18th.  This "Microsoft Certified Career Conference" will focus specially on people in your postion.

There will be an opportunity to meet potential employers, hone your technical knowledge, acquire job-seeking skills, network with fellow professionals and glean career advice from real-life experts in the field including Microsoft representatives - all in real time. 

And, if by chance you are an employer reading this and you're interested in finding some great new Microsoft Certified employees to join your team – click here. We would love to have you participate as well!

Virtual career fairs are still relatively new, but are  great way to job search and attend a career fair in the comfort of your home. No long waits in the airport security line or stocking up on business cards. If you are able to join us – definitely fill us in about your experience and share your thoughts with our readers. Or just tell us what you thought about this new venue for connecting with companies.     

The more attention this gets from job seekers, the more we’ll host these types of events in the future.

Good luck,
Anne
