10AM to 2PM
A Philadelphia job fair is a great way for you
to explore employment opportunities and gather information about companies who
are currently hiring in the Philadelphia area. Many job seekers view a Job Fairs
in Philadelphia as a first interview, and other job seekers view a Philadelphia
job fair as an opportunity to gather information about potential employers.
Regardless of reasons for attending a Philadelphia job fair, there are a several
key things to keep in mind before, during, and after the job fair to make the
most of the Philadelphia job fair.
Before the Philadelphia Job Fair:
· Find out what Companies will be attending the
Philadelphia job fair The more
information you can gather beforehand, the more successful the Philadelphia Job
Fair will be for you. After you register for the Philadelphia Job Fair you will
be able to view the companies that will be hiring. You should then spend some
time doing some research about the companies so you can have a more in depth
conversation with the recruiter at the Philadelphia Job Fair. Try to find out
what types of jobs they have open? What kind of skills is the company looking
for? What kinds of skills do these companies need to have?
· Have few questions you would ask
employers. Narrow your list of
employers to those who have job opportunities you are interested in, or are
employers you believe you would like to work for. Then list some questions you
would like to ask the hiring manager at the Philadelphia Job Fair.
· Proofread your resume - at least two
times. If you don't already have
one, make one for the Philadelphia Job Fair. It gives employers a quick overview
of your skills/experience and something to remember you by. Be sure to proofread
your resume before the Philadelphia Job Fair and correct any spelling or
grammatical mistakes (search for spell checker on: google, yahoo and msn for a
free tool). Be sure to have someone else look over your resume, even if you
think it is perfect. Don't let simple mistakes on your resume overshadow your
work history and qualifications for a job!
· Be certain your resume has your latest contact
information. Double check that
your address, home phone number, cell phone number and e-mail address is
current.

Dress for an interview. First impressions at the Philadelphia Job Fair are
important. Show the employers that you are serious about your job search. It is
best to wear a suit to a job fair, - unless you are looking for a job that would
require you to dress professionally at work. NEVER WEAR jeans, t-shirts,
baseball caps, headphones ect. If you cannot wear a suit to the job fair, your
best alternative is business casual. Nice slacks and a collared shirt for men
and nice slacks or a skirt and a blouse for women. Make sure your clothes are
clean and pressed. Don’t wear excessive jewelry or clothing that is too short or
revealing.
· Spend time with each employer. Don't just hand a resume to the hiring manager and go to
the next employer. Put in some time and effort into getting additional
information about the hiring company and try to make a good an impression. Don’t
just try to see how many resumes you can give to employers in the least amount
of time - it is VERY IMPORTANT to make a connection with the hiring manager and
find some good job opportunities. It is also important to know when to approach
each employer. Try to avoid approaching employers when they are crowded by a
large group of job seekers, find an employer that is less busy. Trying to make a
connection with an employer that is very busy at the job fair makes it harder
for the employer to answer your individual questions, and they are far less
likely to remember you.
· Use your research to your advantage.
You should feel more confident and
knowledgeable because you did your home work, prior the Job Fair on
Philadelphia. Because you have done your research prior to the job fair, you
won't have to ask the question, what does your company do? Instead you can start
the conversation with “I am familiar with your company and I really would like
to be involved with your line of products and services”. Then give them an
example of one of the products or services you know about. You will have a real
advantage if you can tell employers how your skills match what they are looking
for. Employers look to hire job seekers who show an interest in their company.
· A firm handshake and maintaining eye
contact. Show the employer how
serious you are. Greet each employer with a firm handshake, and be certain to
maintain eye contact throughout the conversation.
