How To Choose A Career Or Job Fair
It is not necessary to join all career fairs or job fairs. We are giving some tips how to choose to attend these job fairs or what we should see first in these job fairs before attending :
1. Who is the organizer?
The organizer be a big enough group to attract quality companies and to pull together a well-planned event. Look for evidence of “organization” such as agendas, announcements and the like.
2. Who are the sponsors?
Determine if the sponsors are related to and supportive of the event’s true purpose. If not, you may see more of that sponsor than you’d like on event day . . .
3. What companies have publicly committed to attending?
First try to find which companies are planning to attend. if your target companies are participating, and, also important, what types of jobs are available? At what levels? you may attend.
4. Where is the event being held?
Is it at a sponsor’s office? A hotel ballroom? Perhaps at a target company’s HQ? Location matters because you can get a sense for the size of the crowd expected. If event held at your target company’s HQ, will let you get a peek at their culture or allow you to meet a few additional people.
5. Is there a fee to attend?
If not, be ready for a bigger crowd and more sponsor messages. But free events can be a great value. Do not let this issue drive your decision. But be conscious of this piece. If there is a fee, what will you get in return? Less competition, better speakers, more one-on-one time with each company? Here you can decide if those are valuable to you.
6. What online organization and planning can you see?
How did you learn about the event? Friends? From the sponsor? A good event should have an online component. A place to go to learn more. If they don’t and if the only way you can learn more is to refer to the one-page handout, you may be heading to an event that is less organized. But, again, ask questions. If there is a phone number, give them a call.
And I’m not suggesting you eliminate every event by being over-critical. Or spending too much time deciding. But I am saying to think about where you spend your time during job search. It matters.
