Question

What guidelines should a job seeker follow to ensure they are successful at career fairs?

Answer 1

Guidelines to follow when attending career fairs include:

1. Bring copies of your résumé, business cards, and portfolio

2. Set a goal to meet 10 people – career fairs can be very intimidating, so it is good to set goals.

3. Be well prepared – dress appropriately, be able to summarize your qualifications briefly, prepare questions ahead of time

4. Perfect your pitch – “practice” your pitch on a few less desirable employers to work out kinks and nerves

5. Make note of good contacts that you met - you can follow up with them and add them to your network
