How to…Impress at a Career Fair

Whether you are a freshman searching for your first college internship or a senior looking for the start of your professional career, job or career fairs are an amazing resource for college students. But they can also be gianmarco lorenzi shoes online incredibly intimidating. Don’t let being scared or unprepared keep you from finding career opportunities. Instead take our advice and get ready to wow some recruiters.

1. Gain Confidence

As a college student, you probably have all the qualities that any recruiter would want to see. But if you’re nervous and timid, a recruiter will typically pick someone more confident and pulled together over you. Do mock interviews with friends, professors, or even over the phone with your parents. Also remember that recruiters talk to new people for a living, so they are friendly and only want to get to know you.

2. Proofread your resume. Yes, again!

You do not want to hand a resume to a recruiter with any mistakes at all. Even if you think your resume is perfect, check again or give it to a friend to look over. A good trick for looking for mispellings is to read the paper backwards. Start at the bottom right hand corner and read from right to left. You won’t be reading gianmarco lorenzi platform pumps for comprehension, so spelling mistakes will be much easier to pick out.

2. Do Your research

Find a list of the companies that will be at the career fair. Narrow it down to the companies that actually interest you. If the company has a website be sure to visit it and look at the careers section. You may be able to make a login name and post a resume already. I’ve had recruiters say that they love hearing that applicants have actually been to the website, so be sure to do so!

3. Be Prepared

Have a game plan of what you want to say to recruiters. You will want to introduce yourself, smile, and give them a firm handshake. Be prepared with questions about what job opportunities they have (if you couldn’t find any information on this in your research) and other intelligent questions in case there is a lull in conversation. What is your company’s job culture like? Have you hired any students gianmarco lorenzi shoes orange lace fish toe pumps from this school before? What job experience does your company like to see on a resume? Make a list for yourself and review it. If case you get tongue tied, use one of the questions to get yourself back on track.
