General Questions
How much does it cost to exhibit at a WIT Job Fair?
For the upcoming Job Fair, it is $950 to register as an exhibitor at the early bird rate, which expires approximately three weeks before the event, and then the price goes up to $1,050 until we are sold out. We change prices depending on our venue and event medium (virtual, in-person) so it may be a different rate for events after our upcoming job fair event.

You have the ability to view and download individual resume files or download the entire folder.

Additionally, Job seekers have the option to upload their resume to a shared folder, which Exhibitors get access to before the Job Fair. Exhibitors can find contact details for job seekers on their resume if their choose to upload it.
