Things to consider to make your job fair a success:
Before the Job Fair:
- Find out what businesses will be there and research them.
- Develop some questions you'd like to ask employers.
- Make sure you have proofread your resume - at least twice. (If you don't have a resume, assistance will be available.)
- Be sure your resume contains your updated contact information.
- Attire for Hire. First impressions at a job fair are important. How you represent yourself sends an immediate message to employers about how serious you are in your job search.
- Take time to talk to employers. Take time to get additional information and make an impression.
- Use your research to appear confident and knowledgeable. Do your homework!
- Have a firm handshake and maintain eye contact. Showing interest and good manners is important, regardless of the type of job you are looking for. Every employer appreciates someone who is dedicated, conscientious, and attentive.
- Follow up with a thank you note. Follow up is an important part of attending a job fair.
