Below are some tips to get the most out of the job fair:

Job Seekers

Dress for Success — First and foremost, dressing for success involves maintaining a professional appearance. While business casual (khakis/ slacks and a polo shirt) is acceptable, a more polished look for men includes wearing dress slacks and a dress shirt with tie, and women should wear dress slacks or a skirt. First impressions often leave a lasting impression so you want to ensure employers take your image seriously.

Be Prepared!!! — Bring your resume so you have a list of contact information and credentials to leave with a potential employers. Resume critiques will be offered on site free of charge.

Come with an Open Mind — Be willing to investigate careers and companies that match your interests, abilities, and values rather than just searching for a specific title or starting salary.

Step-up Your Skills — Investigate training programs that help enhance your existing skills, teach you new strategies, or help you obtain a certificate or degree. The local community college can meet a variety of these needs with traditional classes or short-term workshops. Information on educational opportunities will be available at the job fair.
