Taking advantage of events

 

Take advantage of job fairs and recruitment events

Recruitment events are a good opportunity to get to know employers and discuss career prospects with their representatives. Try to make good use of the time you spend at a job fair.

  • Ask questions and listen
  • Make it clear that you are looking for a job
  • How to take advantage of job fairs and recruitment events:
    • Give out your business card and indicate your interest
    • Tell the employer's representative that you have registered as an applicant on their website,  this helps you stand out from the crowd
    • When you receive the employer's representative's business card, write on the back where and when you met this person
    • If it feels appropriate, try to arrange a time to visit the company
    • Take the company brochure with you and read it at home to get a better understanding of the career opportunities they offer.
