■ I have been regularly attending the virtual career fairs for a couple of months now since I am actively looking for a job. I get relevant opportunities, in hospital recruiters who are genuinely looking to recruit and ask appropriate questions regarding my preferences. I did get some good calls from opportunities from some of the hospitals. I am still in the process of finding the right job for me and will continue to participate in the PracticeMatch Virtual Career Fairs until I get to the dream job. Dr. Suhel Sabunwala. Infectious Disease Fellow at USF

■ I have been attending the PracticeMatch career fairs for about 6 months now and I can't say enough good things about this. I have previously gone to in-person fairs and visited career booths at major medical conferences and the web-based approach has been so much more efficient and productive. In about 30 minutes I am usually able to chat with 15-20 employers. We exchange information and I learn a great deal about the job market. I am a senior resident, getting ready to graduate and I already have multiple promising leads and connections. As well a firm offer. Jordan Steinberg, Pathology Resident at Lenox Hospital (15 fairs)

■ I have met a potential employer through the virtual fair where I interviewed and may be signing up soon. If it wasn't for virtual fair, I would not be able to find that program where I will likely be working for many years! Ahmar Rizwan, MD, Family Medicine Resident at Mercy Health (18 fairs)

■ I spoke with several recruiters through the career fair and one such conversation developed to the point of arranging a site visit.

■ PracticeMatch's Virtual Career Fairs make it easy for residents in their final year of training, like myself, to connect with potential employers. I can connect using my computer or my phone, which makes the fairs easy to attend even when I have had a busy day of clinic. Fairs cover a wide range of employer types and geographies so there is usually an employer attending who is hiring for my specialty in an area that I am interested in! Victor Chen Radiation Oncology Resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital

■ I thought the virtual career fairs were a great way to connect with multiple recruiters in various parts of the country and most were quite helpful and reached out within minutes of my sending an interest.

Niral Patel, DO Emergency Medicine at the University of Washington

■ I spoke with dozens of employers through PracticeMatch. One of which I really liked, and they invited me out, paid for everything, and ultimately offered me the position. Joe Powers, Emergency Medicine Resident at Mercy St Vincent (Marshfield Clinic)

■ PracticeMatch has been one of the most useful tools in helping connect me with potential future employers. I have been able to learn about jobs outside of my local market and connect with opportunities in practice settings that I would not have otherwise known about. The online portal is easy to use and makes connecting with multiple recruiters a breeze. I would highly recommend all residents use the service! Jasdeep Gill Psychiatry Resident at the University of Washington (18 fairs)

I would recommend other residents/fellows to start their job search by going to these fairs. Harsh Shah, Emergency Medicine Resident at Indiana University

Now that I'm closer to completing fellowship and looking for a job, I have a lot of leads to great opportunities from the contacts I've made. Gayatri Gupta, Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellow at Yale New Haven Hospital

■ The ease of interacting with recruiters from all over the state from the comfort of my desk is the best value of this format of interaction. This has given me the confidence to ensure all my concerns for my future job are addressed well ahead in time and I will be more prepared to join work. I have the opportunity to get the place of my choice and discuss terms and conditions well in advance- all from the comfort of my desk and at my convenient timing. Santosh Dhungana

■ I have found PracticeMatch to be a consistent, reliable way to connect with employers in regions that interest me.
