Tips and Links for Job Fairs


The purpose of attending a job fair is to network with potential employers. It gives you an opportunity to obtain information on careers, position openings, company history, salary expectations, industry growth and trends, and requirements needed for a job. It also allows you to speak with multiple companies at one time.

Tips For Attending A Job Fair:
Dress and conduct yourself professionally. For tips on how to dress professionally, see Dress For Success.  Do not approach an employer in groups of friends or classmates; instead go up to an employer alone and introduce yourself. This will show initiative and confidence. It is your chance to “sell” yourself to an employer. Ask questions to show interest and tell the potential employer about your skills and abilities. Give him/her your résumé and ask to set up an interview. 
 
 Bring the following items with you:
  1. Multiple copies of your résumé on professional résumé paper
  2. Copies of your references
  3. Padfolio - this will hold copies of your résumé, references, a pad of paper to take notes, and includes a pen holder
  4. 2 black or blue pens to fill out applications and to take notes
  5. “Cheat sheet” to fill out applications (click here for tips on how to fill out an application)
    • Education and training - school names, addresses and phone numbers, programs of study, degrees earned and graduation dates, dates of attendance (start and end dates)
    • Work history - names of employers including current employer, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of employment (start and end dates)
