Register and get your ticket
You can sign up for an event by going to our Events page and search for an event in your area. Once on the event page, look for the Register button to book your ticket on Eventbrite. The Event page also lists registered exhibitors so you can plan who you’d like to visit.
Research exhibiting companies
Check out the exhibitor listings and visit their websites to learn more about them and what roles or programs they offer. Come prepared with questions. Visit the Career Fair Canada job board to learn more about what roles companies are recruiting for.
Have your resume handy
While many exhibitors may ask you to submit your resume online, it’s a good idea to have a few copies printed. 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.
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
Networking is a strategic way to expand your connections and uncover new career opportunities. Speaking directly with recruiters and industry leaders gives you real insight into hiring needs, upcoming roles, and how your experience aligns with their priorities. A brief conversation can make you stand out and open doors that online applications often can’t.
Follow up with recruiters
Taking the time to send out ‘thank-you’ emails the day after an event can go a long way. Connect on LinkedIn and 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.
