Tips for Job Fair Success:

Dress professionally as if attending a job interview

Practice your personalized pitch which should summarize your skills and experience

Make a good first - and lasting - impression with each recruiter

Bring several copies of your updated resume or work history to the event

Be open-minded and consider all opportunities even if they may not be your first choice

When you attend the Job Fair you can:

Meet one-on-one with recruiters and hiring managers who you might not normally have a chance to meet with.

Learn about upcoming job opportunities so new they haven’t been advertised yet.

Possibly walk away with a job! Many employers offer On-The-Spot Interviews and Same Day Job Offers.

Visit EVERY employer at the event and tell them what type of career you are interested in. If they do not have it available now they might have an upcoming opportunity that is perfect for you.

How to GET HIRED:

1.       Visit https://www.jobnewsjacksonville.com/ before the event and pre-register (you can also do this at the door). On the site you will be able to view the event directory so you can see who is hiring and what jobs are available.

2.       Get a game plan and research companies of interest from the directory. Develop tailored resumes for the companies you want to apply with.

3.       Have a clear career focus. Be prepared with an answer to one of the first questions each recruiter is going to ask you: “So why are you here today?”

4.       Sharpen and rehearse your elevator speech. Your elevator speech can be a great response to the typical interview question “tell me about yourself.”

5.       Prepare and practice responses to typical interview questions. “Tell me what you know about our organization?” “Why do you want to work here?” “What are you looking to do?” “What are your goals?”

6.       Sketch out a few questions to ask each recruiter.

7.       Dress professionally.

8.       Make a good first and lasting impression! Wait patiently in line for your chance to meet with the recruiter and make sure you ask for their contact information before leaving.

9.       Jot down notes as soon as you are done with the recruiter and include these notes in your thank you email that you will send when you get home.

10.     Follow up! It is critical to continue to express your interest in joining their team and restate the value you can provide them that no one else can provide.
