Going to a hiring fair? It’s guaranteed to be saturated, but you can make the most of it with this step-by-step game plan! 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. Look at the companies attending and their current job openings. Even if there's no immediate opening, if a company you're targeting is there, it's worth going. If there is nothing of interest to you - you’re day can be spent doing more productive tasks.   𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵. Check LinkedIn for people working the booths. Look for company posts about the fair, see who likes them, and identify folks in talent acquisition, people coordination, or employee success. Connect with them before the event. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹. Contact those you've identified with an email like like: "Hi Sam, I noticed your company will be at the Toronto hiring fair next Wednesday. As the talent coordinator, will you be at the booth? I plan on going to learn more about the opportunities your company has open. Cheers!" This sets up a warm introduction for the day of the event. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁. Arrive an hour early. Have a resume printed for each job you’re interested in. At the top of each resume, handwrite the company name, the job title, and the job ID (if applicable). Get those resumes in the right hands! 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: 𝗕𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Focus on booths relevant to you. Ideally, you’ve connected with someone before the event – make sure to meet them! – If you read the above and thought, "That’s a decent strategy, but connecting with strangers like that is kinda creepy," you’re right, it can be. But here’s the thing, it’s all about how you approach it. Be genuine, professional, and pleasantly curious. People appreciate authenticity, and it can set you apart in a crowded environment.

✨ Looking forward to speaking at the Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE) Virtual Career Fair and Networking event in August! We're going to have an interesting conversation about STRATEGY. ✨ #strategy #strategicplanning

When preparing to attend virtual career fairs, pay close attention to instructions of the employers. Normally, I provide a block of instruction to visit my organization's career portal steps to finding positions, jotting down position ID#s and titles and provide to myself or staff when connected. Unlike in-person events, some virtual career fair platforms time conversations and the end abruptly. I want to ensure everyone makes the best of the time designated to connect with our staff. This also cuts down staff having to identify opportunities for you. Prior to hiring events: Always Research Employers You Want To Connect With.
