Blog Post: Is Attending the Career Expo Right for You?
posted Friday, October 9, 2009
As a job seeker in today’s economy you should be looking for every opportunity to stand out among the competition. Job fairs are a great way to meet face-to-face with hiring managers and get an edge over candidates who only apply online. With the recent spike in unemployment the dynamics of attending job fairs has dramatically changed, so how do you ensure you are using your time a job fair most efficiently? Your success at these events depends on creating a structured job fair strategy.
Be sure you are keeping a great attitude throughout the event. Remember that your first impression can make or break your chances at getting that job offer. By allowing any frustrations or discouragement to show during your conversations, you are sending the wrong message to the recruiters about what type of employee you would be. There may be many job seekers with your same skill set, and a great attitude can set you apart from your competition.
By attending the event and making a great impression on the recruiters, they will remember you when sorting through the hundreds of applications they receive.
