JOB SEEKER GENERAL HIRING FAIR TIPS

DURING THE HIRING EVENT
-Go alone, if you go with family or friends walk the event alone.
-Observe the layout and listen to questions, network with other attendees.

-Opportunities that you are seeking
-Relevant experience
-Highlights of skills and strengths
-A significant achievement
-Knowledge of the company

MAXIMIZE THE HIRING EVENT
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 HIRING EVENT
-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.
