SIUE Career Fairs provide an opportunity for students to connect with employers to learn more about their career opportunities. There will be a variety of different employers showcasing their employment opportunities in various employment locations. Please check out the list of attending employers and research the companies before attending the event. We recommend visiting all of the employers' booths to learn more about the different opportunities they may be offering to students. This event will be setup in a table/booth style where students can walk to different employer tables to learn more about their opportunities. Some employers may conduct on-the-spot mini interviews. Students should dress professionally and have multiple copies of their resume available for employers. We recommend researching employers before attending the event. The event will be from 11 am -2 pm. Students will need their Cougar Card (800 ID Card) to check-in at the event.

Virtual career fairs are a great way to start conversations with many companies and get your foot in the door.  The event will provide you an opportunity to showcase a little about yourself and to ask some questions about the company and the roles they are seeking to fill.  When preparing for a virtual career fair, it is imperative that you research the participating companies, visit their careers pages and make a list of the opportunities that you are a match for.  Applying for some of the positions in advance of the event will help expedite the process even more.  When the event starts, use your list to target the companies you have researched (and applied to) and get in line in their booths.  You can get in multiple lines at the same time, don’t worry, you won’t miss your chance to chat.  While you are waiting for your turn to chat, click on some of the content on the booth.  Some of the companies will have a few of the most pressing opportunities listed on their booth that you can apply to right then.  You can even switch back to other work while you wait.  Don’t worry, you won’t miss your turn, just make sure your volume is up to hear the ding that it’s your turn. When chatting with employers, it is imperative that you are prepared.  Have a brief introduction about yourself pre-typed so you can quickly paste it into the chat as it begins.  Have a few responses ready that will describe the work you have done, what you are looking to do and what you can bring to the table.  I know it sounds silly, but these are the ice-breakers and will allow the chat to really begin.  You will also be able to ask a few questions about the company, its culture and people.  Some recruiters may ask you to use the video chat option, which will allow you to showcase yourself even more.  Make sure you are dressed for the event, and not in a tee-shirt… Not every chat is going to be a homer, but you need to be professional. You never know if the recruiter you just chatted with will be at another company down the road and will be your interviewer again. Be courteous and exit each chat with a thank you & make sure you ask for the contact information of each of the recruiters you chat with and send a note / connection request after the event.  Remember to be respectful, professional and prepared.  What you put in is what you get out!  If you approach a virtual career fair following these simple steps you will undoubtedly be moving the needle further in your next career search.  These events aren’t meant to generate job offers that day. They are to help you generate many new career leads and interview opportunities in a short period of time. #restartevents #securityclearance #securityclearedjobs #clearedjobs #clearedopportunities #clearedprofessionals #clearancejobs #intelligencecommunity #inteljobs #transitioningmilitary #militarycommunity #defenseindustry #virtualhiringevent #virtualcareerfair #peoplereallygethiredatrestart #careeropportunities

The Reality of International Career Fairs: A Branding Exercise? Attending international career fairs? Here's the truth: most companies are there for employer branding, not necessarily to hire on the spot. While you'll meet recruiters and managers, the majority of them won’t be able to make immediate hiring decisions. Instead, they’ll often tell you they’re still “interviewing other candidates” or “need to consult with their team” before moving forward. Only a handful of companies might actually follow up with you after the event. Many are just showcasing their presence in the market rather than actively recruiting. So, if you're planning to attend an international career fair, go with realistic expectations. It's great for networking and learning about companies, but don’t place all your hopes on landing a job right there. No harm in attending — just keep in mind that it’s more about making an impression than securing an immediate offer.
