How do I prepare for the Job Fair?
Recruiters say research is the key to a successful job search.
Stand out from the crowd by taking their advice and research
organizations before the fair. Not much time to spare? Choose
your top five organizations, do the research and then add more
organizations as time allows. |
|
What do I wear?
Suits are always appropriate for the Fair. Business casual is
appropriate as well. Keep in mind, however, “business casual”
does not indicate “classroom casual.” Organizations say first
impressions count, so give some thought to what you wear.
|
|
There are so many organizations present. Where do I begin?
-
Develop your personal two minute commercial: a brief
overview of you, your background and career interests. Hi,
my name is ___ and I noticed that you are recruiting for ___
type of opportunities. I am interested in this position for these
reasons.
-
At the Fair, get familiar with the layout: take a moment to
review the database of employers and the floor map found in
your packet.
-
When you are ready, head for the table of your first
organization, introduce yourself with a smile and a
handshake and begin your commercial.
-
If you are feeling nervous or need a break, stop by the
Career Center table and we can assist you by practice or
provide self confidence talks.

|
What should I bring to the Fair?
Bring copies of your resume, unofficial transcript, reference
sheet, portfolio, pen/pencil and notebook. Bring additional
resumes to present to each employer. You will present yourself
as a prepared job seeker should the employer request a resume.
