STEP 1: Create your AltSpace Account and User Name

Welcome to the Anoka County Virtual Career Fair Information and Registration.

For this Prototype VR Event we are using a familiar platform, Microsoft’s AltSpace. We are in development for a unique platform for future events and activities, and will make that announcement soon.

For now, creating your AltSpace account and User Name is Easy, Fast and Free. You will need your AltSpace Username to Register for the event and have full access to all the employers and features including live one on one audio and text capability with Employers, and live video meetings if the Employer wishes to interview you later. Those capabilities will be available for days after the event to registered users.

NOTE: Even if you cannot attend the event itself, be sure to create your AltSpace account and Username anyway so you can register for the event, employer access and the ability to upload your information and get it to your chosen employer.

Once you register you’ll still be able to access all of the employers, their web sites, available jobs, upload your cover letter and/or resumes, and with your unique Username submit materials directly to the employers listed for the event. If you cannot attend directly, the entire event will be live streamed so you can still see inside the virtual reality Career Fair, listen to interviews and special features.

How to Create Your AltSpace Account and Username :

After you create your Free AltSpace Account and Username, Remember – by registering for the event  and submitting your info and material directly to the employer through our special portal, including which jobs you are interested in, the employer will be able to contact you directly depending on how much information you give them, and as a registrant you’ll be eligible for a one on one live video or audio interview. And, that capability will be available for days after the event depending on the employer, even if you cannot attend the event.
