Job Fair Success
"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
- Albert Einstein -
 Job fairs are becoming a common means of
entry level recruiting. For the corporate recruiter, they offer an opportunity
to reach interviewing terminal velocity--the highest possible number of
prospects in the shortest possible amount of time. For many students, job fairs
provide a "freebie" opportunity to meet with hiring employers.
However, unless you do your homework, you will end up wasting your time at a
job fair. Job fairs are the meat markets of the entry level job market, with
employers sizing up candidates quickly, based on appearances and first
impressions. Job fairs have a set of rules and protocols all their own. But if
you understand how to effectively work within the system, you can easily double
or triple your productivity and effectiveness.
Usually a full 50 percent or more of the attendees at job fairs are
"window shoppers" who are just browsing to see what is available.
While this approach may seem valid, take note that job fairs are not a "get
acquainted session" for you to meet prospective employers. They are
multiple interview sessions where the plain vanilla candidates are stepped on
and over by those who are targeted and prepared. Yes, even the two to three
minute greeting and exchange of sound bites is considered a real interview. You
are being evaluated, whether it is for thirty seconds or thirty minutes. You
always need to be at your very best. If you are to succeed at the job fair of
the new millenium, you have to take a very aggressive yet structured approach.
