Apr 19The Season for Job Fairs
Posted in Uncategorized at 1:46 pm
Job Fairs can be an important tool in locating employment in a tough economy. One of the main advantages of a job fair for the job seeker is that the job seeker is able to come in contact with the person who could potentially hire you for a position. This is a rare opportunity that the job seeker typically does not have turning in or e-mailing a resume/application.
Due to the fact that you will potentially be coming into contact with the hiring manager, it is important to treat this opportunity professionally. Some suggestions are:
- Dress up for the occasion as you would for a professional interview
- Bring additional resumes
- Prepare to answer interview style questions
Three upcoming job fairs within one hour of the Sheboygan area will be taking place in the upcoming 2 months. Please visit the following web site for specific times and dates:
