Making the Most Out of a Career Fair
Attending a career fair is just one of many steps in the career exploration and job search process. Employers participate in these events to meet students and recruit employees. They can provide general information about career options as well as specific information about current openings. As a student or alumnus, you can attend a career fair to look for a job and gather career information.
WHY ATTEND A CAREER FAIR?
Networking: Use these opportunities to meet recruiters and career professionals to add to your network.
Jobs: Whether you are an undergrad, grad, or alumni, this goal is the most common for attending a career fair is to establish contacts to obtain part time or full time employment for an upcoming semester or graduation.
Gain Experience: Even if you are not actively seeking an opportunity, there is nothing like gaining valuable experience in mastering “the art of working job fairs”, especially if you are shy. More experience will increase your confidence!
BE CONFIDENT AS YOU APPROACH EACH EMPLOYER
The purpose of a Career Fair is for students and employers to meet and exchange information. Don't hesitate in your approach! Take the initiative and introduce yourself. Walking up and introducing yourself to a recruiter may be uncomfortable, and you may feel awkward and unsure about how to begin a conversation. However, recognize that, as in any new situation, first impressions begin with the moment you approach an employer. Make that moment count!
Walk up confidently, say hello, introduce yourself, and shake the representative's hand. Be sure to establish eye contact and smile.
Make a general statement about yourself, such as, "I am currently in my third year of studies in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing and Finance and would like to know more about career opportunities with XYZ company in the area of Marketing." The more recruiters you speak with, the more skilled you will become at these first introductions.
DRESS PROFESSIONALLY
You will succeed in creating the impression that you are serious about your future employment opportunities if you dress in appropriate business attire. It is helpful and recommended to find out what the expected dress code is for the career fair that you are attending.
BRING RESUMES
With multiple companies represented at a fair, having enough resumes is essential. The resume should be well written, follow established resume development guidelines, and be professional in appearance. Be sure to have your resume critiqued by your Career Services Department before the Career Fair.
HAVE YOUR ELEVATOR SPEECH PREPARED
An "elevator speech" in regards to internship and job searching includes a 30 second overview of an individual's knowledge, skills, and accomplishments. The term comes from the time it takes to complete a normal elevator ride from the top to the bottom floor. An "elevator speech" is an opportunity to get your point across in a timely manner; namely, who you are, what you've accomplished, and where you hope to go in the future. It is a short speech that is worth memorizing. In the time span of 30 seconds you can let those you come in contact with know what your skills, interests, and future goals are as they relate to internships and jobs.

Making the Most Out of a Career Fair (Continued)
Sample Elevator Speech:
"Elevator speeches" are used as a marketing tool since they are a way to let those you meet know where you've been and where you're hoping to go in the future. Realizing the importance of each and every personal encounter you make can often spell the difference between success and failure in securing the ideal internship or job. "Hi, my name is Cathy Erickson. I am currently a second year student studying Hospitality Management at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have volunteered as a student activity leader at FDU throughout my first and second year here at FDU. Last summer I completed a hospitality internship with the Fairmont Pacific Rim where I learned invaluable skills both in event planning and back of house duties. I have always had an interest in hospitality management and I am hoping to find an internship that will further advance my skills in the hotel industry."
SEND FOLLOW-UP EMAILS
Ask for a business card before you leave an employer. This will ensure that you have the proper name and address of the representative with whom you spoke. Send a thank you email within a week of the event. Be sure to remind each recruiter that you met him/her at the FDU Career Fair, and that you appreciate having the opportunity to discuss career opportunities with him/her. Mention something specific about your conversation to differentiate your e-mail from others the recruiter will receive. It is also a great idea to attach you resume.
USE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY
Know which companies are coming to the fair. Make sure you research the companies and know what kind of business they are before you introduce yourself to the recruiters.
Thoroughly research the corporations before you introduce yourself to the recruiters so you will be able to ask intelligent questions and respond to any questions with confidence.
Make a list of the corporate representatives you want to meet. Prioritize them. Consider not meeting with your top choices first. Try out your greeting and introduction on two or three which are nearer the bottom of your list so you will have a chance to overcome any nervousness before you approach your top choices.
