Click on "Job Application" to download the official Job Fair employment application. Print the application and fill it out before coming to the Job Fair. Give a copy of your completed application to each employer you visit during the Job Fair as a means to introduce yourself. Free copiers will be available at the Job Fair for you to make extra copies.
If you have never attended a job fair before, the following are a few helpful tips:
(A) Before going to the Job Fair, review the website's list of participating employers to determine the employers in which you are most interested.
(B) Dress appropriately - you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Even though the Job Fair is meant to be a fun, casual event, wear conservative clothing and accessories.
(C) If you have a current resume, bring copies to give to employers.
(D) Prepare and rehearse a brief, 30 second self-introduction for meeting employers. This should include a quick summary of your skills, interests, strengths, and why you would make a good employee for that company. Be prepared to answer follow-up questions. Make eye contact, smile, offer a firm handshake, show enthusiasm, and be courteous. RELAX! Have fun and be yourself.
(E) A day or two after the Job Fair, follow up with the employers you spoke with. Call them and/or send a brief thank-you letter or card. Tell the employer you really want the job!
