>Devex international development career fair 'goes local'
>By Kate Warren
>
> While job boards, online communities and social media make it easier than ever for job seekers to connect with potential employers, there is nothing that can replace meeting someone face to face.
>It is during these more personal interactions we are able to show who we are behind the CV or job description, make connections with real people and build relationships that, if fostered, can help create that network of professionals everyone says you must have to advance your career.
>In addition to providing an online platform for job candidates and employers to connect, Devex has hosted career fairs in New York, Washington, London and Brussels to help job seekers and employers make these more personal introductions.
>Traditionally, our career fairs have been held in "hot spots" for development work, global hubs with both the development organizations and development professional they want to hire. But this is changing. Increasingly donors are pushing — or requiring — their implementing partners to "go local."
