Job Fairs and Interviews : TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Why Attend a Job Fair?
1. You may land a job!
2. The Employers Want to Meet You: these employers will be prepared to conduct on the spot interviews with the candidates who offer the best value to their organizations.
3. You Gain Experience. The more employers you meet and interact with, the sharper your interviewing skills will become. Further, career fairs are very helpful tools in boosting your confidence in communicating with employers.
4. You May Be Interviewed. Employers are prepared to conduct on-the-spot interviews.
It is unlikely that the interviewers may make immediate hiring decisions, but they will pave the way for some for subsequent hiring interviews.
5. Your resume will be provided to many employers. If you attend you will be asked to leave a copy of your resume at the registration table. That resume will become part of the final electronic resume book that will be used by many of the employers. In addition, you should have plenty of extra copies of your resume to give to the individual employers at their respective booths.
ResearchLearn as much as you can about participating employers that interest you. Web pages are an excellent starting point to determine who they are, where they are, their mission, and organizational network. Formulate intelligent questions about their plans for growth, general employment opportunities, and benefits of working with them. Some questions to ask are:
1. Why is this position open?
2. What are some objectives you would like to see accomplished in this job?
3. What advancement opportunities are available for the person who is successful in
this position, and within what time frame?
4. How is one evaluated in this position?
5. What accounts for success within the organization?
6. What type of support does this position receive in terms of people, finances, etc?
