Follow up after the fair - show employers you're really interested!

Connecting with employers is more than just giving your resume to recruiters. Follow up and forge a connection.

Effective strategies for following up:

  1. Send a thank-you note/email to the recruiter re-emphasizing your interest (always request business cards from the recruiters).
  2. Follow the application instructions the recruiter shared with you during the Fair - you may be instructed to upload your resume into the employer's database for further consideration.
    • This is not a brush off! If posting your resume on their website was all that employers required, they would not take the time or expense to come to campus. THEY WANT TO MEET YOU FACE-TO-FACE. However, their hiring process may require interested candidates to post resumes online.
    • Taking this step reinforces your interest and allows the employer to move your application into their internal process.
