Tips for a Successful Career Fair

博览会前

Career fairs provide job seekers a way to explore opportunities from many companies in one location. It's a great way to learn about job openings, research organizations and practice your interviewing and networking skills.

  • 做好家庭作业. Spend time researching the organizations at the fair. Employers love talking to candidates who are familiar with their company and business. You'll come across as intelligent and interested.
  • Get your resume in order. Create and/or refine your resume and bring several clean, crisp copies to hand out.
  • 准备一段录音. Create a one-minute "sound bite" that summarizes your skills, 目标, experience and the kind of company with which you want to associate. Practice this until you are comfortable using it as your opening. Anticipate interview questions and practice your responses.

 

 

During the Career Fair

  • 计划好每一天. Relax and plan on spending time at the fair. Career fairs are not that frequent so plan your time well. Try to avoid standing in long lines. Go early if possible because the first hour is usually the slowest.
  • 慢慢地进入. Visit your lower priority companies first. This way you can practice and fine-tune your approach. When you're ready, proceed to the top priority employers on your list.
  • 保持活泼. The lines may be daunting, but don't fair to maximize the opportunity. Talk to every company that fits your experience and ambitions. If you meet with 10 recruiters, at the end of the day you will know 10 people by name. That sure beats sending a blind resume to “Personnel Director.”
  • Shake hands firmly and introduce yourself when you speak with a company representative. This is your chance to make the best first impression.
  • 网络. Talk to both employers and other job candidates. If you are standing in line, don't be shy to talk to the people in line. 更多的 jobs are filled by networking than by any other means.
  • Avoid the shopping spree. Many companies give out freebies at their booths. It's OK to pick up an item or two, but don't give the impression that you are shopping for your dorm.
  • Get the interviewer's business card and then be sure to follow up. If an interview goes well, you should follow up with a letter within a couple days that reinforces the points you made and the facts you learned. Always refer to the date and location of the job fair. Highlight parts of the conversation that stood out to make it easy for them to remember you. Always include a copy of your resume.
