3 How to prepare for job fairs?

To make the most of job fairs, it's important to prepare in advance. You should start by researching the event and finding out which employers and organizations will be attending, what kind of positions they are hiring for, and what their expectations and preferences are. Then, update your resume to make sure it is clear, concise, and tailored to the job fair. Additionally, you should dress professionally for the event and practice your pitch. Your pitch should include your name, background, skills, goals, and interest in the company or position. It should also be no longer than 30 seconds and customized to each employer. Make sure it sounds natural and confident by practicing in front of a mirror or a friend. Finally, bring enough copies of your resume to hand out to recruiters and bring a folder or portfolio to store them.
