5 Tips on How to Deal with Jobs Fairs
By: Ispas Marin
A job fair represents a good opportunity for job seekers to meet
with the job offers in persons, meaning with the employing
companies representatives. If you are looking for a job, a job
fair is an event you shouldn't miss. You will have the chance to
interact personally with the employers and you will get a
glimpse on the companies inside. You will also have the
opportunity to meet a lot of employers in a short time and in
the same place. And you may even get an interview right there if
you are exactly what the employer is looking for.
In order for you to best benefit from a job fair, here are some
tips you should take into consideration.
First of all, always do your homework before attending a job
fair. Study the list of the companies participating to the job
fair and select those you are interested in applying for a job.
Keep in mind that you will have limited time at the job fair and
you will not be able to meet all the employers. Therefore, make
your own list of companies and do some research on them. Check
their web sites; get familiar with their specific field of
expertise.
After putting together the list of target employers, prioritise
them. Think of the information you will ask them and think of
your job objectives. Adjust your resume to their requirements
and make sure they fit the company's strategy (which you have
previously studied on its web site!). Double check your resume
for spelling or grammar errors and make sure it provides clear,
easy to understand information. Make plenty of resume copies and
add some extra just in case you will find some other interesting
job offers at the job fair.
Think of a short, concise speech about yourself, your working
experience and your job objectives. Think of some questions you
will ask the companies representatives about jobs or activity
details in order to decide if a certain company's offer is what
you are looking for.
Always remember to dress up for the event. This doesn't mean you
will need to wear an evening gown or a tuxedo. You will have to
look serious and professional, so pay attention to your clothes
as the employers will definitely pay attention to this aspect.
And finally, think positive. You may not be the best prepared
candidate for a certain job, but positive thinking and
determination will help you overtake other job seekers. Keep in
mind that employers are looking for professional, determined and
committed persons, so be professional in your job hunting! Good
luck!
