- Print the My
Personal Employer List form to create your own quick
list of employers.
- Go to the registration table (level
3) to receive your name tag and fair directory.
- Identify the employers you want to meet. Determine which
are seeking individuals in your interest areas, as well
as those that are of general interest to you.
Note: Employers are purposely not arranged by industry. Per
request from employers, booths are arranged so that competing
companies are not near each other.
- 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.
- Introduce yourself – include
your major and graduation date. Provide additional information
about your
background and experiences. Offer a copy of your
resume.
Note: Be prepared to offer your resume both
in hard copy on nice paper or electronically (bring your resume
on a jump drive). Many
employers will ask you to upload your resume online as part of
their standard hiring procedure.
- Indicate why you are interested in
this particular employer. Obtain information about the availability
of positions
in your interest areas. Determine requirements
to apply for a position.
- 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.
