Job Fair Preparation


It is Job Fair time again. What do you need to do to prepare? Here’s a list to guide you.
Remember this is a great opportunity to get in front of employers. Take it seriously and make the very best impression you can.
Make sure your resume is perfect. If you haven’t had it reviewed by someone in Career Services, you still have a few days left. When you are happy with your resume, print several copies on high quality bond resume paper and stash them in your portfolio to keep them neat.

Make up business cards to offer to employers who are not able to accept resumes. Definitely keep in mind it is no reflection on you when employers do not accept your resume and ask you to apply online. It is a procedure they are required to follow.
Launder and press your suit and shirt or blouse—or have them dry cleaned. Polish your shoes. Get a haircut if needed. Take a look at our guidelines to make sure your planned attire is suitable.

Review the list of employers who are registered. Research those of interest to you. Prepare your introduction so you will feel confident when you approach the recruiters.
