What you need
Before
Have your resume handy
Have a few copies printed and ensure your resume is current and applicable to opportunities you’re interested in applying for.
Check your commute
Make sure you have the right address and plan a travel route. Check for delays on public transportation, and if you’re driving, be sure to arrive early to snag a parking spot.
Have refreshments on hand
No matter how long you plan on staying at an event, always make sure you have some snacks and water on hand. Having refreshments nearby makes everything that much easier.
During
Invite your friends
Chances are, if you are looking for a new opportunity, you know someone else who is as well. Support each other’s career ambitions by bringing them along to a live event.
Wear appropriate attire
First impressions always matter. Aim for a professional business-casual look because you never know who you might run into.
Have an elevator pitch
Prepare a short introduction for yourself. Being able to market yourself concisely in 30 seconds or less is a great way to stand out and maximize potential opportunities.
Learn something new
Do you want to do something outside of your current field? Are you missing the necessary credentials that you need to elevate your resume? College exhibitors at any event are there to give you an edge. Even if you are not looking for a brand-new path, they are great resources to learn what you need to get to where you want to be.
Network, network, network
Your fellow attendees may be your biggest asset yet. Once you start speaking to other jobseekers, you can start collaborating. Share information about job leads, companies, and learn about each other’s application strategies and styles.
After
Follow up with recruiters
Taking the time to send out ‘thank-you’ emails the day after an event can go a long way. Make sure to collect business cards from recruiters so you can send them something professional, short and sweet. It’s a great way to stay memorable.
