Career Services is full of great opportunities for you to
attend job fairs this semester.
Regardless of your major, there are various ways for you to get
experience, meet other professionals and survey the job searching scene. Visit our events page here to see
which one is the best fit for you.
Before you go, make sure that you are prepared so that you
get the most out of it. Without
preparation for a job fair, you can come off as careless and unprofessional to
an employer and as a result, they might think twice about hiring you.
Make sure your resume is updated. Have someone in Career Services look at it
before the fair to make sure it is ready to go.
In addition, practice your 30 second commercial about yourself. Prepare a short speech that outlines who you
are, what you hope to do, and anything else an employer might need to
know. Rehearse before you go so it
sounds confident and natural.
Don’t forget to dress the part! Wear professional clothing
and be sure to have a clean and polished appearance. Employers won’t want to hire someone that
looks like they just rolled out of bed.
