Cognito Forms

KCC uses Cognito Forms as the pre-registration form for career fairs. This was selected because it allows the submitters to upload their resume without creating an account/logging in.

Sample pre-registration form from Fall Career Fair 2024

What to include on the pre-registration form:

1. First name

2. Last name

3. How did you hear about this event? Include the following options:

   • Kentucky Career Center

   • LinkedIn

   • Facebook

   • Other Social Media

   • Options for partners we are co-hosting with (e.g. Kenton County Public Library)

   • Other

4. Upload your resume

5. Opt-in for future KCC events

   • Include disclaimer that we will not ever send spam.

Setting a date for the form:

• Go to ‘Build’

  • ‘Workflow’

    • ‘Public Links’

      • Set a date you want the form to be available, and when you would like to “cut off” form entries.

      • (Suggestion: cut it off the morning of the career fair, 2-3 hours before the career fair begins so you have enough time to export the total entries for pre-registration check-in.)

For ‘Not Available Message’ I’d suggest putting something that includes the date/time/location of the career fair.

For example:

“Pre-registration has closed. You can register for the __________ Career Fair in-person at the Kenton County Public Library. The Career Fair starts at 10AM— we’ll see you there!”
