Career Fair Success: Before, During and After Before: • •

•

•

• •

•

Know yourself and what you want to accomplish by attending the career fair.

Choose and try on your outfit to be sure it fits and you’re comfortable. Clean everything and iron out the wrinkles.

Study the list of participating employers and research organizations that interest you. Know why you want to work for them.

Develop and practice a 10-second introduction for yourself. Include your name, academic interests, class-year and career goals.

Prepare specific and general questions to ask.

Review the floor plan of the fair and prioritize who you will visit first. Decide who you’re willing to wait in line to meet, even if it means visiting fewer employers.

Print extra copies of your resume.

Career Center Resources to Support Your Career Fair Success Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair [videos] http://goo.gl/rO38R

•

Check Duke eRecruiting to see if and when employers hosting events or interviewing on campus.

•

•

During: • • •

• • •

Prioritize your time. Visit employers on the top of your list first.

Use your 10-second introduction, eye contact and firm handshake. Smile!

Employers won’t have much time at the fair, so lead with information that you think will interest them most.

Make a note of the representative’s name for follow-up.

Offer a resume to the recruiter.

Be curious. Learn more about options you haven’t previously considered. Gather information and follow up with further questions after the event.

•

Ask about the hiring timeline and process if the organization is not returning to campus for interviews.

Take the initiative and engage in meaningful conversation with representatives. They will remember you if they get to know you.

Make connections and get advice. Doing so will provide you with excellent resources in your career search and decision-making process.

After: • •

•

Follow up! If you promised to send a resume, send it.

Send thank-you letters. Include information about your conversation and your interest in the company.

Submit your resume on Duke eRecruiting to apply to jobs and internships.

T RINITY COMMONS AT ERWIN

Career Fair Employer List Become familiar with the employers attending the fair and the hiring needs they have identified.

TIP: Take initiative! Ask a recruiter for the best way to find more information (and perhaps an introduction!) if you have an interest in their company that extends beyond what you see listed.

http://goo.gl/z4hHc

Career Center Drop-In Advising Use a 10-minute conversation to get customized advice as you prepare for the fair.

TIP: Ten minutes goes quickly! Prioritize what you’d like to understand before the fair and ask those questions first. You can always come back, and you can always set up an appointment to have longer conversations.

http://goo.gl/yOVWS

Resume Guide Go beyond a list of past job descriptions. Use your resume to present your methods, accomplishments and results.

TIP: Write a short list of the qualities that you know your reader will be using to distinguish great candidates from the sufficient. Ask someone to read your resume and tell you how he or she would remember you. Make sure they match!

THE CHRONICLE

Networking – It’s Just a Conversation You interact with people every day:

See it as just a conversation or exchange of

Follow up and follow through quickly.

They ask you for directions; You share notes with classmates; You ask a friend where to buy clothes or video games for the best price; Someone posts an article link on Facebook, which you, in turn, “like.”

These are all forms of networking that you have probably mastered by now, yet when it comes to networking for professional purposes, you freeze. Students often ask me, “What should I do when I arrive? What am I supposed to say?”

information between people with mutual interests. That should make it pretty easy to do because you have something in common with them. Your job is to figure out what those common interests are and maximize on them.

Do this by asking the right questions.

If a contact refers you to an opportunity, resource, or another contact, act fast! Also, send them a customized thank you note including details from your conversation.

This will show them that you mean business. As your relationship develops, be sure to return the favor and share resources with them as well; remember, networking is a two-way street.

Here are some tips to get you started:

Do your research.

If you are going to a networking event where the attendee list is shared beforehand, take some time to learn more about the backgrounds of folks with whom you plan to connect. You will feel more comfortable when you finally meet and will be able to maximize the time you have together.

Practice, practice, practice!

Take advantage of all networking events, informational interviewing and online channels available to you. You will be surprised by how much and how quickly you learn and grow.

Dive in and take advantage of Career Center networking opportunities:

Duke Career Fair 2013

THE CHRONICLE

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2013 | 11

Getting the Most out of a Career Fair Throughout a career fair, students will discover careers they did not know existed, hear professionals talk about work that excites them, and attempt to persuade others that they are the best candidates for specific jobs and internships. One thing will be consistent: those who are most successful bring a sense of purpose and confidence to their conversations with employers at the fair.

Use these steps to identify your purpose for attending.

Once you establish a few goals, confidence will follow!

THINK.

ACT.

1. How will you know that attending the career fair was a good use of your time?

2. What are you hoping to learn at the career fair that would be hard to find out using other methods?

3. How would you like to be remembered by those you meet?

1. Follow the tips in “Career Fair Success: Before, During and After”, published in this Career Fair Guide.

2. Watch the “Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair” series we’ve been posting on our YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.
