The job fair will be open to the public from 12:30 to 4:30 pm. Job seekers are encouraged to register via Eventbrite at hubsgethired22.eventbrite.com. This event is free to everyone. All candidates should dress professionally and bring plenty of resumés to distribute to employers.

Your mission is to make an "all out" effort to meet with every employer who has the potential to hire you. In order to make that happen you will need to be prepared. Preparation is the key to making a successful presentation at any job or career fair.

Prior to the Event (PREPARE!)

To make the most of the event, we also recommend the following:

1. Think about your strong points, your goals, the organization and where you want to go within the company. Prepare a "one-minute commercial" detailing your background and aspirations.
2. Prepare your résumé! 
3. Understand how your skills (or the ones that you want to develop) relate to the organizations and employment opportunities that are available.
4. Thoroughly research your "core" companies and gain background information upon which you can base your conversations with the company representatives.

Day of the Event (PERFORM!)

1. Dress the same as you would for a job interview. You want to present the best image possible -- jeans, sweatshirts, and backpacks won't cut it.  Positive first impressions are critical.
2. Turn off your cell phone and other electronic devices! Ringers, alerts and phone conversations are distracting and disrespectful. Let the employers know that they are your main focus.
3. Arrive early and map out your strategy. Who will you talk with first? 
4. Keep an open mind and don't miss out on opportunities due to lack of information or effort. You may want to tour the event and make contact with all the participating organizations to learn more about them and what they have to offer.
5. Introduce yourself to company representatives in a positive and confident manner.
6. Tell the recruiter about your job interests. For example:
   • Discuss a particular career or job with that organization
   • Learn more about the organization and available opportunities
   • Learn more about what someone does in a particular career
   • Discuss internship or summer job opportunities
7. Present your résumé and be ready to discuss your background, qualifications and career goals. Ask what you should do to apply for a position with them.
8. Make sure you obtain each representative's name, title, address, email address, and phone number so you can follow up with them. Collect literature and business cards whenever possible and ask the representatives when you can expect to hear back from them.
9. Be sure to take notes after each table. Write down your thoughts about the company, the recruiter, your chances, follow-up strategies, to-do list, etc. Keep this information organized!

After the Event (PERSIST!)

After the event, you should make it a point to follow up with a letter expressing your interest in the company and in what they have to offer. You may want to include an updated résumé, a link to an electronic portfolio, or provide better answers to specific questions asked during the event. Thank you/follow up letters should be received by the employer within 2-5 days after an event.
