Job Fairs and Hiring Events are happening all over the country this time of year. This could be the only opportunity you get to meet face to face with a hiring managers so try not to procrastinate and let a hiring event pass you by without attending. Here’s a few Big Up’s before you go...

Set-Up -----> prep online before the event or get a floor plan at the entrance and identify where the Top, Mid, and Low level companies that meet your interest are located.

Warm-Up -----> start off with a couple of the Low level companies as practice run and warm up your pitch until you feel a fluid ability to articulate what you want and what makes you the best candidate for the job.

Follow-Up -----> ask for business cards, emails, or direct contact numbers from everyone you talk to and follow-up with a Thank you message.

One more thing … think of these events as an appointment to talk directly with people who can open a door for you to participate in a hiring process that may lead to a new job if you’re able to make an impression worth remembering. So, prepare to Be Memorable!
