HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF A JOB FAIR

Consider the job fair to be your one shot to make a good first impression. Don’t take this encounter for granted – you may never get to a formal interview unless you make a positive impression on the recruiters. Since it is so important to impress prospective employers at a job fair, here are some tips:

Dress Appropriately – You don’t have to wear a suit if it is an outdoor event, but dress in a professional manner.

Try to find out which companies are exhibiting at the job fair and learn about them. Use the Internet or your local library to find out who they are and what they do.
