STOP: Tips to consider
before attending a job fair.
S = Strategy. Have a plan as to how to connect with employers. Only visit companies that you are interested in. If possible learn about job openings prior to attending.
T = Think first. Before approaching an employer, try to learn about the company. If possible, research the company. Don't ask questions that you can research for yourself.
O = Observe yourself and take a second look in the mirror. Make sure that you are properly dressed for a job fair. Your appearance speaks volumes.
P = Be prepared and have patience. Understand that you are not the only person seeking employment. Use the job fair as an opportunity to sell your skill sets to an employer |
