The Expo will be run through Purchase JobScore where you will join the queues of schools you want to speak with. When it’s your turn to video chat with a rep, you will see an alert pop up on the screen and hear a “ding” sound. Once you select the alert you will see instructions on how to video chat with that rep. (If using Safari, you will need to Allow Auto Play via Preferences/Websites/Allow Auto Play to hear the sound).

If you need assistance during the Expo drop into our Grad School Expo Student Information Zoom. You can also email us at career.development@purchase.edu.

Tips for the Virtual Expo

  • Internet Explorer is no longer supported. Please use another browser
  • When joining an representative’s chat, instead of downloading Zoom, GoToMeeting, etc., select the option to join the meeting online and it will be faster to join
  • As long as you are in a queue, remain in the Virtual Expo so you do not miss any chat requests. Please do not navigate to other areas.
  • Make sure you click the “Attend” button so that you can join chats
  • After each video chat you complete, scroll down to view the Notes field. Enter Notes after each chat, before you join the next, so that you do not forget key information.
  • Once you select “Attend” you can opt to share your resume with the Expo reps or you can select “X” next to the resume to RSVP with no resume
