as
those that are simply of general interest to you.
- Budget your time in line. Make
sure you get to meet as many of the recruiters on your list as
possible.
- Display confidence and enthusiasm when
interacting with recruiters. Offer a firm handshake, and make
good eye contact.
Meeting the Recruiters
- Introduce yourself – include
your field of study as well as additional information
about your background and experiences. Offer a copy of your resume.
- Indicate why you are interested in
this particular employer. Ask about the availability of positions
in your interest areas and requirements
to
apply.
- Ask for promotional/informational materials that
describe the employer. Get the recruiter’s business
card or contact info.
- Thank each recruiter for his/her
time. End with another firm handshake, and reiterate your interest
in the organization/position.
- Within a few days, send a thank you note to
each recruiter with whom you talked – especially if you
are considering future opportunities with the organization. Communicate
your continued interest in the organization/position. If possible,
mention something specific about the organization/position that
is of interest to you. (Letter
writing tips)
