GENERAL TIPS FOR JOB SEEKERS:
DURING THE CAREER FAIR
-Go alone, if you go with family or friends walk the fair alone.
-Review the physical layout of the career fair and plan the ‘Who’and ‘When’.
-Observe tables and listen to questions, network with other attendees.
-Don’t assume a company does not have open positions in your field. Network to find out who you could contact.
-When greeting a recruiter, introduce yourself and look confident by initiating a handshake with a smile.
-Express your interest by demonstrating your knowledge of the organization.
-Relate your skills, interests and experiences to the specific needs of the employer.
-Relax, speak slowly and confidently.
-Listen and ask relevant questions about the company and the position.
-Take notes.
-Ask the company what the next step is and how to follow up.

THIRTY SECOND PITCH
-Name
-Opportunities that you are seeking
-Relevant experience
-Highlights of skills and strengths
-A significant achievement
-Knowledge of the company
MAXIMIZE THE CAREER FAIR
To maximize the brief time you have with each employer you need to know how your skills and interests meet their needs. Don’t just concentrate on the BIG names, there are often great opportunities with companies with which you are not familiar. End your pitch by asking a focused question that will engage the employer in conversation. “Could you tell me more about the new (product) you are developing?” “Could you tell me more about your financial management training program?”
Conduct yourself professionally at all times. Remember, you could be making an impression while you are standing in line or walking around the fair. Your ATTITUDE is important. Be positive, enthusiastic and friendly. ENERGY! Practice your 30 second pitch and incorporate positive non-verbal communication, such as eye contact, facial expressions, body language, posture etc.
AFTER THE CAREER FAIR
-Send a thank you note and reconfirm interest in the position and the company.
-Send another copy (or if you used business cards send a copy) of your resume targeted to the position you discussed.
-Within a week follow up with a phone call if you have not heard from them.
DON’TS
-Wing It!
-Ask what the company does
-Ask if the company has any jobs
-When asked what type of position you are seeking, DON’T say you would be willing to do anything
-Carry your backpack, large purse, or too much stuff
-Arrive at the end of the day
-Dress casually
-Ask questions about salary and benefits
-Only Grab the free stuff
