The best way to increase your trust and success at Career Fairs! is to be prepared. The Career Fair’s willingness to persuade an employer leaves a lasting impression.While you’re talking to the recruiter, having a time limit on the conversation is crucial. Keep in mind that other students are waiting to talk with the same recruiter at the Career Fair, so you shouldn’t loiter around only one. Maintaining a conversation at max for 3-5 minutes is a successful thumb rule.
Prepare Your Introduction:
The Career Fair’s engagement of employers makes a positive impression. Practice how to introduce yourself and follow these tips with a firm handshake:
“Hi, my name is ______ and I am certifying from ______”
Resume:
Recruiters will use your resume at the Career Fair to learn about you and remember who you are. Recruiters sometimes do not consider the resume as part of their corporate policy. If this happens, ask if you can use their website to apply your resume. It would also be helpful to ask how you can highlight your resume now that you rely solely on your resume to catch the attention of the recruiter.
