Summary: Learn
how to make fairs work for you.
- Go Prepared. Have plenty of
copies of your resume available and prepare a 45-second verbal summary of
your strongest qualifications to use when introducing yourself to company
representatives.
- Dress for Success. Wear attire
that distinguishes you in a positive way from others. Business casual
is recommended: for men, a collared shirt, khakis or similar; for
women, sweater set, blouse, and nice pants or skirt.
- Allow Ample Time. Plan your
schedule in advance to allow time to visit those employers of most interest.
- Ask the Right Questions. Prepare
a list of questions to avoid aimless, non-conclusive conversations.
Always ask about the next step in the hiring process and get business cards
so you can follow up.
- Pick up Business Cards.
Use this information to follow up with recruiters after the fair.
