This is a fantastic opportunity to meet face to face with great local companies, make a great first impression, and get on the road to your next great career. Remember that you still have a few things to do to be ready for the job fair.  First, put together a professional look that will impress any employer you meet.  You want employers to take you seriously and the way to do that is the first impression of how you are dressed.  Clean, pressed clothing, polished shoes, and above all else, conservative and appropriate to the job.  Even if you don't think you'll have to dress up for the job, the employers at the job fair will be more willing to talk to you if you show you've put the effort into looking your best.

Jobing.com offers workshops regularly at their events, which truly empower the job seeker at every level! Be sure to learn more about the Power of Your Image at future career expos.

The second thing is to go over your resume and make sure it is polished and ready to be seen by employers.  Have family or friends look it over for you to help find any minor changes that need to be made.  At the Career Expo, we have resume reviews throughout the duration of the expo, so you can also bring your resume down to have these great professionals give you their input.  Also, if you bring an electronic copy of your resume, on cd-rom or a usb drive, we will have computers available, courtesy of DeVry University, where you can make the edits from the resume review and print out a new copy to give employers.

Lastly, prepare your 30-second speech on why an employer should hire you.  Focus on your positive skills that you know they are looking for and present yourself with confidence and enthusiasm to capture their attention.  Practice is very important with this speech, so don't pass up any opportunity to practice on others so that your confidence shines through.

Career Expos are your chance to come out, meet employers that want to hire energetic, motivated people, and really WOW! them with all you have to offer.  Be sure to bring your energy and big smiles to future Jobing.com Career Expos!
