5. Bring resumes targeting the employers on your list. Once you’ve decided which employers you would like to visit, make sure you have resumes targeting the jobs they might have to offer. It will not be very useful to hand a resume showing your skills as a cook to a company looking to hire cleaners, for example. Prepare ahead of time and make sure the skills summary on your resume has the skills the employer is looking for.

6. Follow up after the fair. If you feel like you made a good impression on an employer, contact them within about 2 weeks of the Career Fair. Send an email or card letting them know how much you enjoyed meeting them, and restate your interest in working for them. Similarly, if you see a job posting for one of the employers you talked to, mention the conversation in your cover letter or email when you apply for the job.

4. Plan your priorities for the day and research the companies you hope to speak to. The Career Fair will be very busy, and there may be line-ups at some tables, so do your homework before you arrive. Using our list of employers, identify which companies you are targeting and do some research into what they do and what their needs are. Most importantly, show that you know what their goals are, and how you can help them accomplish those goals. You can give yourself the edge over other applicants by impressing them with your knowledge and preparation.

3. Be enthusiastic. Employers will usually prefer to hire someone who is enthusiastic over someone who has all the skills, but doesn’t seem very interested. Demonstrate your communication skills by offering a firm handshake and showing good eye contact, a smile, and a positive attitude. Focus on your talents, your strengths, and what you have to offer based on the employer’s needs.

2. Dress like you would for an interview. What you wear to the Career Fair is the most important part of making a good first impression; remember, employers are there so they can meet applicants face-to-face. Even if you are targeting industrial or labour positions, dress in clothes that are slightly above the standard you would expect to see in the workplace.
