校园-Wide 人才招聘会往往会 at 新太阳网
Our campus-wide career fairs are held each semester. They are usually two days long and are separated by general industry groupings to allow for more companies to attend and make connections with more students and alumni.
What can you do to prepare for career fairs?
- 做好调查. Browse the Virtual Career Fair online space to become familiar with how it works. Review the participating 雇主 and what types of jobs they have available. Go to company websites and social media pages to see if they've had any recent news releases. This will help you be more savvy and energized in the conversation and showcase why you're a good fit for the job.
- 更新你的 的简历 and social media accounts. Make sure your current resume is uploaded to Handshake and has been approved by 职业服务 staff prior to the event. Make sure it's clear, concise, and up-to-date. Have a copy handy for you to refer to during interviews. Be sure to scrub your online profiles of any “unprofessional” posts or photos.
- 打一些笔记. Save some time and prepare your introduction and pre-write some questions in advance. (Ask about the company culture, upcoming changes, special projects, etc.)
- Keep conversations focused and professional. Post sticky notes on your desk to remind you of three main selling points about yourself. 在大多数情况下, you’ll only have 10 minutes to promote yourself, so be ready to get to the point and impress the recruiters!
- Dress professionally for a video-based chat! Plan your backdrop and space to reduce the possibilities for distractions—you don't want to have pets barking or roommates making noise in the background if it can be avoided!
