How to Prepare for a Rose-Hulman Career Fair Watch our video to see a career fair in
action
Here are some additional tips to help make you a success: ·
Appearance is important. Be sure to
brush off your best suit, slacks or dress and prepare to look as good in
person as you do on paper. Our career fairs are professional events and even
if the reps are wearing jeans, it doesn’t mean you should be. Pay attention
to grooming, hygiene, and your attire. Always dress to impress and err on
the side of being conservative if you are uncertain. First impressions can
make you or break you. ·
Take plenty of resumes with you to the fair.
You will be handing out a lot of these and you don’t want to run out. You
may even want to consider having a couple of copies of your transcript with
you, just in case. You won’t need these for many companies, but if your
number one company is very interested in your coursework, having your
transcript to share with them may be helpful. ·
Do your company research beforehand.
All of the company profiles are on our website.
You can sort the list by major and then look to see what types of positions
they are hiring for. Make some quick notes for yourself about each company
and review them before approaching their table at the fair. We will also
have printed books available at the fair and a prep area set up, too. ·
Know what you want. Are you looking for
an internship or full-time work? Make sure you know and they know, too.
Practice your introduction and let them know exactly what you are hoping to
find with their company. It is also a good idea to mentally review your time
here at Rose so you can easily tell them what you can bring to the table in
terms of skills and abilities. ·
Have a top 10 list. Make a list of the
top 10 (or 15 or 20) companies you want to visit at the fair. Start with the
bottom of the list and work your way to the top so that by the time you
visit your top choice, you will have your sales pitch down to perfection! ·
Prepare questions to ask them. It will
be your responsibility to keep the conversation going with a company rep.
They may have some basic questions to ask you, but you need to be prepared
to ask them questions, too. Ask about their programs, their training,
opportunities at different facilities, etc. Your questions indicate your
level of interest in them.
eRecruiting - Update your account to avoid missed opportunities Get your profile and your resume ready to
be seen
Everyone should be logging in as soon as possible
to upload a new resume and update their profile on eRecruiting. Pay special
attention to your GPA, class status, job intent and date of graduation.
Companies already have jobs in the system that you can apply for, and we
already have many info sessions and events planned for you to attend! You
would be surprised how many opportunities you might have already missed, so
make a plan to check eRecruiting every week to maximize your recruiting
leads.
Career Services eBoard helps you prep for the Fall Career Fair Rotating company profiles help you do
research in your down time
The new Career Services eBoard, located on the wall near the backpack
cubbies in the Union lobby, is currently displaying profiles of the
companies that are coming to the Fall Career Fair. You will still see our
Partnership Program ads and information about other events, but the career
fair profiles have been set to a higher priority between now and the fair.
That means you can learn a little more about companies while you’re waiting
for lunch or hanging out in the lobby! |
