Phoenix job seekers have great opportunities to attend local career fairs with employers looking for talent during the summer months and beyond. Preparing for an event should be a process, not a last minute rush or ‘wing it’ situation. Here are some quick tips to help you make the preparation less stressful.
· Research what companies will be attending and what positions they are hiring for. This information may be on the career fair sponsor’s webpage and you can cross-reference with the individual company’s website for more details on the job opportunities.
· Create tailored resumes for the companies that you want to be sure to meet with. Be sure to also have some generically based resumes for companies that are last minute additions to the fair.
· Get your suit and other professional dress items ready a few days in advance.
· Prepare some questions to ask each employer that are relevant to the industry or the company itself. Walking into a room and asking ‘what are you hiring for’ is too general and shows that you haven’t prepared. Have a few questions ready to ask the companies that are there last minute too.
There is a career fair this week sponsored by Choice Career Fairs. For more information:
