Tips for Career Fair Preparation
January 23, 2023
Are you attending the upcoming ? ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ Career Services have put together some helpful tips for consideration in advance of those important opportunities.
Before the Career Fair
- Research the companies that interest you before you go to the fair. The list of employers will be posted on myCareer approximately 1-2 weeks before the fair takes place. Go online to gather more information about these companies and the projects they are working on.
- Be open to meeting many different organizations. There are often several departments within large companies, and they may have positions that you had not anticipated. For example, high-tech firms have human resources and marketing departments, so there may be more than just high-tech jobs available.
- Prepare some questions based on the information you find from your research.
- Prepare a short career pitch for employers:
- Include who you are, your career goals, and some of your strengths that can be beneficial in the workplace.
- Dress appropriately, even for virtual workshops.
Be sure to keep up to date on future career fairs held through ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ Career Services on their website for your chance to meet potential employers.
