| Job fairs, also known as career fairs, are a great way to meet with a number of employers at one location. But with so many job-seekers with the same goal in mind, the process can easily become overwhelming and confusing. Here are a few tips to make your next job fair experience a positive one. Dress professionally. Job fairs are essentially job interviews, so your attire should be appropriate. You should wear professional clothes, and comfortable shoes and maintain an overall business like appearance. Looking, speaking and acting professionally always makes a great first impression. Arrive early. Plan on extra time to park, check in and get a good feel for the layout of the job fair. This will help you avoid feeling rushed so you can focus on the task at hand. Job fairs are very popular events. Arriving early also can provide you with the extra time you may need to meet with employers. Bring resumes. Be sure to have plenty of resumes to hand out to potential employers. Sell yourself. When speaking with company representatives, focus on your strong points, career goals and why you would like to be employed with the company. Don’t forget to be enthusiastic, and most important – smile! Do your homework. Walking into a job fair unprepared can be a disaster. By conducting a bit of research on the organizations you’re interested in, you will show employers that you’re truly interested in working for their company. Keep an open mind. A variety of companies normally participate in job fairs. Take a good look at each company and don’t limit yourself to ones that only interest you at first glance. Follow up. Don’t forget to ask company representatives for a business card so you can follow up with them, as well as send them a thank you note. |
