Blog Post: What to Expect at the Jobing.com Job Fair


posted Friday, January 30, 2009 6:30 PM

Are you prepared for the job fair on Tuesday?   As the economy has changed, so have job fairs.  Here are a few tips that can help you out before this big event.
  • Recognizing that there are fewer organizations hiring and more people looking for jobs, we have expanded our free resume review and workshops to add more value to your job fair attendance.  Please take advantage of these free services.
  • With more candidates in attendance, employers may ask you to apply online as well after they speak with you. Don't be discouraged.  This may help the recruiter stay organized with their application process and give you a chance to show your sincere interest.  Accommodate the employer's request by following their application guidelines. Your efforts on both fronts (attendance at the fair and applying online) are deeply appreciated by the employer. Be prepared to take any materials and information from employers and to follow up with additional communication after the job fair.  Have a place to keep business cards and be sure to make notes on the card so you can make sure your follow up is tailored to the conversation you have had with the employer (such as, "recruiter thought I might be a good fit for their design team").
  • Prepare for high job fair attendance.  This job fair will have many attendees.  This means that there will be a wait to initially enter the job fair at the beginning of the event, and that there may be a line to speak with many of the top employers.  Similar to preparing for any big event, be sure to be rested, fed, relaxed and comfortably dressed so that your day is more successful.
