Job
Fairs in NYC, NY are a great way for you to explore employment opportunities and
gather information about companies who are currently hiring in the NYC, NY area.
Many job seekers view a Job Fair in NYC, NY as a first interview, and other job
seekers view a Job Fair in NYC, NY as an opportunity to gather information about
potential employers. Regardless of reasons for attending a Job Fair in NYC, NY,
there are a several key things to keep in mind before, during, and after the job
fair to make the most of the Job Fair in NYC, NY.
Before the NYC Job
Fair:
- Find out what
Companies will be attending the Job Fair in NYC. The more information you can gather beforehand, the
more successful the NYC Job Fair will be for you. After you register for the
NYC 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 NYC 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 NYC Job Fair.
- Proofread your
resume - at least two times. If
you don't already have one, make one for the NYC 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 NYC 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.
Meet several companies at the next job fair in
NYC on Thursday July 18, 2013, Crowne Plaza Times Square,
1605 Broadway, New York, NY 10019, 10AM to
2PM
- Dress for an
interview. First impressions at
the NYC 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 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 jobseekers,
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
in NYC, NY. 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.
- After the NYC Job
Fair:
- Follow up with a
thank you email. Experts agree
that follow-up is a crucial part of attending a Job Fair in NYC, NY. Make sure
you pick up a business card, or at the very least get the name of the hiring
manager you spoke with and his or her email address. Send a thank you note a
email within two days of the job fair. This will show the employer you paid
attention, are serious about the job opportunity, and that you are the right
person for the job.
