Maximize Your Time at the Job Fair
A large part of your success at a job fair will result from making the most out of the time you have face-to-face
with a recruiter. It is crucial that you network, keep an open mind, promote yourself and maintain a positive
attitude through out the event. Job fairs allow you to meet with several employers at once- take full advantage
by following the tips below:
Networking – this event is all about making connections with companies and even the people in line
with you. Each connection is an opportunity. If a company isn’t hiring for a position that fits your
skills, don’t hesitate to ask for other contact information for different roles, be curious!
Open mindedness – just because you’ve never done something, doesn't mean you can't do it or
wouldn't like doing it; think outside the box... the possibilities are endless!
Promote yourself – be confident in all the great qualities that you can bring to a company, discuss
your skills and experience in a confident manner.
Positive attitude – don’t assume there is nothing here for you and walk around the room without
talking to recruiters. You’ve prepared a great resume, dressed for success, and made it to the event-
keep the positive momentum going with conversations.
Engage in conversation – while you should be aware and courteous of the time sensitive aspect of a
job fair when talking to a recruiter, don’t shy away from answering questions fully. This is your time
to showcase yourself; you are a potential hire.
