Networking and preparing for company visit

Topics Why prepare for company visit Preparing for the visit Good questions to ask At the visit After the visit

WHY PREPARE FOR COMPANY VISITS (or Careers Fair) Preparation enables you to present yourself as being knowledgeable about the company, its products or services, and the career opportunities being discussed. The better prepared you are, the more probable it is that the company will recognize your enthusiasm, drive, motivation, maturity, and thoroughness.

PREPARING FOR THE VISIT You should attempt to learn as much about the company as possible. Items of preparation may include: Ask your network Find company’s annual report Use NN erhverv to gather information www.nnmarkedsdata.dk Visiting the company’s web site for research purposes and to obtain a better understanding of the corporate culture – e.g. their newsletter Industry and business publications containing information about the company Talking with former students who are now employed by the company – use e.g. LinkedIn – My network/find alumni – write company Talking to people who have had direct dealing with the company or its products Only access from AAU mail/location:username conv1837 passcode aabib

GOOD QUESTIONS TO ASK Corporate goals and direction Career enhancement Market growth opportunities Company’s competitive environment Research and development Evaluation system Career paths of recent hires Commitment to training Social gathering between management or/and colleagues Community lifestyles Questions such as: “So what do you all do? or “What are the benefits?” may not seem as insightful to companies 

AT THE VISIT Be professional – manners and personal appearance Be interested Be timely Be kind and personal CV vs. Biz cards Address language issue if relevant

AFTER THE VISIT Following the visit, send a personal letter of thanks to the key people you met and talked with during the day. While this may not affect the probability of getting an offer, it is a common courtesy and will definitely be remembered if you eventually accept their offer. Content: This letter should reaffirm interest in the position Highlight your qualifications one last time If applicable, indicate any items of discussion that were not mentioned during the office visit Reflect your enthusiasm and highlight your in-depth understanding of the contribution you can make as a member of their team. The letter provides you with one last opportunity to stand out above the competition and position yourself for a potential offer.

Share your thoughts with fellow students or friends How would they follow up? If not, why?

Make sure to participate in seminars at AAU Career to learn more about how to write CV, go to job intervies etc. See you
