Don’t forget your resume!
How to Navigate a Career Fair
- Think about your job and/or career goals-specifically target which employers you want to meet. Avoid visiting every employer
- Ensure you have enough copies of your resume
- Your resume should be impeccable. Spelling, grammar and neatness count
- Present yourself as you would for an interview…dress for the job
- Be polite-wait for your turn to speak (employers will notice this)
- Thank the employer for their time
- Be familiar with the employers to ensure you are targeting effectively…do your research!
- Make good notes-document which employers you spoke with and be sure to include any feedback and/or follow-up instructions
- If you are directed to submit an application/resume online, do so as soon as possible.
- Prepare an elevator pitch:
- Introduce yourself,
- Mention your program of study
- Describe the type of work being sought (summer, internship, co-op, full time?)
- End by outlining what you can do for them (past experiences/education and other relevant information)
Remember to smile 😊!!!
