EVIT Career Fair

• Copies of your resume
• A small notebook to take notes during conversation
• A list of questions to inspire conversation
• Curiosity and a positive attitude

Dress the part! 

Professional attire is recommended. You can also wear your clean and presentable EVIT uniform. 

For more examples, see the Career Fair Look Book.

• Prepare your resume and cover letter
• Create a list of questions for the vendors
• Create a plan for who you want to talk with and leave time for exploration. 
• Preview the list of employers who are attending and research their business and any posted opportunities.
• Remember: Career fair conversations are a two-way process. Not only is the recruiter evaluating your suitability for the organization, but it's also an opportunity for you to determine if the job is right for you.
• Practice talking to the Employers

Here are some great examples of questions you may ask employers:

• How long have you been at the company?
• What do you appreciate most about the company
• What opportunities are there for growth?
• What does training and professional development look like?
• What does the company expect of its employees
• What skills and qualities make an employee of the company successful?

Introduce yourself with a smile! Employers and recruiters like when you initiate the conversation. By smiling, you convey a positive and inviting personality. Take the initiative to introduce yourself and offer a handshake.

Reflect on your experiences. Employers are looking for candidates with strengths in communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Classes, clubs, part-time jobs and volunteer work – including caring for family members – all provide the opportunity to learn and build the career-readiness skills that employers value most!
