1 Update your profile

Before you attend a job fair, make sure your social media profiles are up to date and professional. You want to showcase your achievements, skills, and interests in a way that matches your elevator pitch and your desired industry. Use keywords that are relevant to the jobs you are applying for, and highlight your accomplishments and projects. Avoid posting anything that might be inappropriate, controversial, or negative, as recruiters might check your online presence before or after meeting you.

La credibilidad y autenticidad es muy importante en la búsqueda de empleo, las redes sociales, muestran nuestra actitud, forma de pensar en comentarios, nuestra trayectoria y criterio. Esto en cierta forma conecta el estilo con la cultura de la empresa a la que estás aplicando. En algunos casos puede llevar una gran ventaja y en otras casos dependiendo el estilo, no llega a ser positivo. Lo más importante es reflejar el lado profesional de tu perfil y tus valores.

2 Research the companies

One of the benefits of social media is that you can access a lot of information about the companies and organizations that will be at the job fair. You can follow their pages, accounts, and hashtags to learn about their culture, values, mission, products, and news. This can help you tailor your elevator pitch to each company's specific needs and goals, and show that you have done your homework and are genuinely interested in working for them. You can also use social media to find out who are the recruiters or hiring managers that will be at the job fair, and what they are looking for in candidates.

Set Google Alerts: For in-depth research, set up Google Alerts for companies you're interested in to receive news and updates directly in your inbox. Use LinkedIn's 'Alumni Tool': Find and connect with alumni from your school who work at your target companies to gain insider insights and advice. Analyze employee profiles: Look at profiles of employees working in your desired roles to understand their career paths and skills, which can inform how you position your own experience.

3 Practice your pitch

Social media can also help you practice and improve your elevator pitch before the job fair. You can record yourself delivering your pitch and watch it to see how you sound, look, and gesture. You can also ask for feedback from your friends, family, or mentors on your social media network. They can give you constructive criticism, suggestions, and encouragement. You can also use social media to find examples of successful elevator pitches from other professionals in your field, and learn from their techniques and styles.

I like the mention of recording oneself. Take it a step further: Once you're comfortable with the pitch recording, create a file and upload it to YouTube or Vimeo. Save it as a private link. Put that link on your resume in the contact info section. Add it to your LinkedIn profile. When you attend the fair and meet contacts of interest, make sure to collect their business cards or contact info somehow. When you reach out to them, make sure to include the pitch link. This can give them visual remembrance of who you are along with any formal documents. If you want to go a step further, if you know the companies of interest ahead of time, you can custom record pitches for them, save as private links and share as needed.

4 Engage with the network

Another way to use social media to enhance your job fair elevator pitch is to engage with the network of people and organizations that are related to your industry and career goals.

You can also comment, share, like, and retweet posts that show your knowledge, passion, and personality. This can help you build your online reputation, expand your connections, and demonstrate your value to potential employers.

5 Follow up after the fair

After the job fair, you can use social media to follow up with the recruiters and companies that you met and pitched to. You can send them a thank you message, restate your interest and qualifications, and attach your resume or portfolio. You can also keep in touch with them by liking, commenting, or sharing their posts, and by updating them on your progress and achievements. This can help you stay on their radar, show your enthusiasm, and increase your chances of getting an interview or an offer.

Send personalized video messages: Instead of a standard follow-up message, consider sending a personalized video message to key connections made at the fair, making your follow-up more memorable. Create a dedicated post-fair follow-up post: Share a post on LinkedIn summarizing your job fair experience, what you learned, and shout-outs to interesting people you met, tagging them if appropriate. Use LinkedIn voice messaging: For a personal touch, use LinkedIn's voice messaging feature to send personalized audio follow-ups to your new connections.
