Get Noticed!!

Hey, if you’re sick and tired sending out resumes that only end up some manager’s trash file then you should try to get to a job fair. I know what you’re thinking…been there, done that, and it doesn’t work.

I used to feel the same way but not getting any attention from hiring managers for the countless amount of resumes I’ve been sending out and running out of savings has led me to desperate measures. Besides, how else am I going to get my info in front of the employment gatekeepers? The trick, I learned this time around, is all about how you approach it; networking is key!

I’ve been to 2 job fairs so far, one in Feb and another one last week. Spoke to recruiters for about 10 different companies and just now starting to hear back from the hiring reps I met back in Feb. It’s a process but I it beats applying online and sitting around waiting for a manager to call.

Anyway, just thought I’d share. Hit me up if you have any questions, glad to help!

What do you say to them after standing in the line to get up to the table? It might have just been me, but I felt awkward and didn't know what to say once it was' my turn' at the table. I have been on the other side of that table as well, so that made it twice as awkward feeling for me. So what's a good all around ice breaker opening we can use at our next job fair?
