Tip #1: Visit every booth
Tip #1:
Visit every booth.
Know what you’re
looking for, but keep an
open mind.
Saying “I can do
anything” appears to
recruiters that you have
no direction.
Tip #2: Prepare your resume
Tip #2:
Prepare your resume.
Some companies are
required to receive only
online resumes. Bring a
hardcopy anyway.
Length should be two
pages, maximum.
Translate your military
experience into civilian
terms. We’ll talk more
about this later.
Tip #3: Think about your 30 second
“elevator pitch”
Tip #3:
Think about your 30
second “elevator pitch.”
Sell yourself. Think
about what recruiters
want to hear.
Provide a brief
background of your
skills, your character
qualities, and then apply
that to the position
you’re discussing.
Tip #4: Translate your military
experience into civilian language
Tip #4:
Translate your military
experience into civilian
language.
Remember that not all
recruiters understand
your MOS or acronyms.
Assume they don’t.
Explain the technical
details, your
responsibilities, not just
the role of your job
within the military.
Tip #5: Dress, act, and present
yourself professionally and
confidently
Tip #5:
Dress, act, and present
yourself professionally
and confidently.
This may be new, but
you’re adaptable. Act
like it.
Wear business clothes,
like you would to an
interview.
Make eye contact,
initiate handshakes,
address recruiters, visit
every booth.
Tip #6: Research beforehand
Tip #6:
Research beforehand.
Look up the companies
who are attending.
Get familiar with how a
job fair works, how
booths are set up, etc.
Print resumes, tailored
to each type of job or
industry you’re
interested in.
Tip #7: Follow up afterward
Tip #7:
Follow up afterward.
Send an email thanking
the recruiters for
speaking with you and
expressing interest in
the job.
Add connections on
LinkedIn.
