How it all works…

Companies
Companies who sign up for the Job Fair will receive a listing in the conference program with their company name and contact, one six foot draped table to display company collateral materials and two chairs.

Participating companies will also have access to the on-line Job Fair to list their job openings on the ISMB 2002 website. This gives participating companies a link on the website that takes viewers directly to their respective website. The ISMB 2002 website receives up to 1000 hits per day and serves as an excellent resource to reach a highly skilled pool of potential employees.

Companies may also book time blocks at the conference for private interview rooms for any meetings they need to conduct including interviews. Company representatives may contact candidates directly through the resume postings on ISMB’s website (www.ismb02.org/jobfair2.htm) or onsite at the Job Fair.

The fee for corporate participation in the Job Fair is US$500. To sign up for the Job Fair visit: www.ismb02.org/jobfair.htm
