Career Fair Basics What is a career fair? SCD hosts annual career fairs, including Jobapalooza and JobFest Is there a fee to get into career fairs? Will I get a job offer?

Before Job FAIRS Research Employers & Community Partners Update and Polish Your Resume Dress for Success Practice Your Handshake Prepare and Practice Your “Sales Pitch”

Before THE JOB FAIR Questions to Expect from Recruiters: What is your major? Why did you choose your major? What experience do you have in your field? Why are you interested in working for us? Questions to Ask Recruiters About events their company hosts What a typical day looks like for X position What they like about working for a company Questions NOT to Ask at Job Fairs: How much do the positions you are offering pay? Avoid only asking questions about how you will benefit from the position

At THE JOB FAIR Develop Your Game Plan Give Yourself a Pep Talk Start Talking, Start Wowing End With a Request Make a Good Impression Network With Everyone

How to Talk to a Recruiter 1. Walk up to the employer’s table or booth. Make eye contact with the recruiter, smile and say hello. 2. Offer your handshake and introduce yourself. 3. Ask about career opportunities for your occupation at that company. 4. Deliver your 15 second “sales pitch.” 5. Answer the recruiter’s questions and ask a few follow up questions of your own.

Talking with a Recruiter 6. Tell the recruiter that you would like to apply for that job or position. 7. Offer the recruiter a copy of your resume. 8. Ask how you can schedule a job interview. 9. Ask for the recruiter’s business card. 10. Thank the recruiter, smile, and offer your handshake.

After JOB FAIRS Follow Up—Make Yourself Memorable Thank the Recruiters You Met Write to Everyone Else Keep Your Applications in Motion Persistence Pays
