Career Fair Tips
-
A good exhibit is simply
a stage for information exchange -- the company is the focus, not the exhibit
-
Representatives may bring
their own display or sign, as well as any literature, brochures, business cards, employment applications,
electronic equipment, or promotional
items
-
The visual message should
give even a casual observer
a clear idea of what the company does -- make demonstrations
short but entertaining
-
Have brochures and business
cards on hand, but
keep paper to a minimum
-
Make a good first impression
-- students will base their
opinion of the organization on the company representatives
-
Staff must be very knowledgeable
about their organization
and career opportunities
-
Ensure exhibit is staffed
at all times
-
Stand, don't sit, at the exhibit
-
Wear name tags prominently
-
Don't wait for visitors
to approach -- be assertive,
friendly, and sincere
-
When choosing a color for
the display:
blue = low key and low stress
red = high energy
yellow
= #1 attention grabber
green
= comforting
orange
= cheap, inexpensive
metallic
= premium, pricey
black
= power
white
= good guy
-
After the career fair,
respond to all inquiries personally
ASAP to reinforce the company's good image; follow-up with any candidate directly; interviews can be set up
at the company's office, or the use of our facility is available for a nominal charge.
