Career Fairs are a fantastic way to network with professionals and gather information from many different businesses. Most Career Fairs are fairly large and can be overwhelming if you’re not prepared.  Here are some tips to help you manage your time while attending career fairs.
  • Be Ready – know the businesses participating, dress professionally, and be sure you have enough copies of your resume and references
  • Be Professional – have your items in a portfolio or brief case, arrive early and ready to talk with prospective employers, present yourself with a strong handshake, positive attitude and good eye contact
  • Be Persistent (but not a pest) – send thank-you notes to each employer you speak with
Social Networking Sites are another tool being utlized for job searching and networking.  Just about everyone you know and every business you've heard of is using some sort of social media to promote themselves or their products/services.  This is an easy and free way to build your network of professional contacts.  There are a few things you need to keep in mind when creating and managing your social networking site.  Click on the links below for more information.
