@Alfredo Rupprecht posted about job fairs earlier - it got me thinking Job fairs are great becasue they get a group of potential employers together **there are differing opinions on how to approach a job fair ** Here's my experience
- Job fairs can be Virtual or in person Here's some notes on Virtual Job fairs ..
- Virtual Job fairs I've seen have been online sometimes via a Zoom or teams call, they try to mimic an in person job fair. My experience has been that these job fairs benefit from shorter more direct resumes. Cover letters havent been beneficial to me and honestly if I'm a part of the hioring team I skip it I think limiting the amopnt of clicks (sounds stupid I know) is a consideration. Instead have a short "mission statement" at the beginning of the resume. and make the resume meaningful. If you have been promoted or even asked or picked for something phrase it as "Selected abovce peers to XXXX. (1 of xx) So if you're pickled 1off xx mean 1 out of all the possible candidates That helps differentiate you and gives your achievements some context.
- Have a few intro words prepped and ready to "cut and paste" I quickly grew tired of retyping "Hello I'm lokking for./..." messages. so have an inro/ what you want/ maybe a couple of answers pre planned that you can ammend. it will kepe the conversation flowing and you can spell check (that could be a thing for some people)
anyone else have experience with virtual job fairs?
They're more useful than not but I think you have to prep for them in a more structured way.
