MAJOR HOSPITAL & HEALTH SCIENCES CAREER FAIR SPRING 2018
HOW TO TURN A JOB FAIR INTO A JOB OFFER
• Research all companies attending. Know leadership, location, mission, products, and services.
• Revise your résumé to fit specific company needs, one
for each company of interest with a general résumé for the others.
• Bring more than enough résumés (more than the
companies of interest). Keep a portfolio. Leave your backpack at home.
• Dress for success. A suit (black, navy, or charcoal gray)
is always a safe choice. However, make sure you do your homework and know what the organization wears.
• Greet everyone with a smile and a handshake. • Be ready with your Elevator Pitch. • Go first to companies that you’re not as interested in. You might be surprised, and it’s great practice!
• Speak clearly and concisely. End on a positive note. • Be prepared with questions for the employer. • Make sure to get employers’ business cards. • Send thank-you notes to each employer within 2 days. • Follow up specifically with employers of interest within 2 days and as often as necessary afterwards.
Raise Your Expectations Accomplish more than you ever thought possible at Valley Health.
