On the map included with Career Fair Plus app, all the changes are visual so students will be able to find the employer tables they need.

Students are already carrying resumes and portfolios. A paper map gets wrinkled and illegible by the end of the day. A digital map is easy to read. Students can easily zoom in to read details about the recruiters. Career Fair Plus allows students perform a quick electronic search for to find employers without having to scan the entire map.
