Be ready with your curriculum vitae.
If you don't have a curriculum vitae to take with you to a career fair,
seek advice from a professional who can help you portray your previous work,
academic, and university experiences effectively. If you have already written a
curriculum vitae, consider having a career services professional review it
before it makes its professional debut.
Research, research,
research.
Check with your career services office to learn which
companies will attend the career fair. Research the companies that interest you
most. Check corporate web sites, your career center's library and more general
job-search sites.
Dress to do business.
Your first
impression can be your most important impression. Although some of the
employers at a career fair may dress in casual business clothing, it is
recommended that job seekers wear standard business attire. Dressing
professionally makes a statement, and being overdressed makes less of a
negative impression than being too casual.
The early
bird...
catches its favorite employers before long lines form. Beat the
crowds to the career fair, and representatives from your target employers may
be able to spend a little more time with you--that means more time to make a
winning impression and learn details about the organization.
"But
what should I say?"
Almost anything besides, "Hi, umm..I don't really
know what I'm looking for." Potential employers are unimpressed when students
rely on them to respond to these general, unfocused questions.
Instead,
introduce yourself. Summarize yourself in a few sentences. Remember your
research about the organization. Have a few questions prepared ahead of time
that show you're interested in the company. Don't be afraid to promote your
skills and abilities when you respond to employers' questions. P.S. Be alert.
Use correct grammar.
Smile.
