I love career fairs of all kinds. In recruiting there is so much paperwork and a lot of tough calls, but the positive side includes placing cool people in great jobs, great transferable skills, and career fairs.\u00a0Career fairs are one of the best parts of this.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an opportunity to imagine a new future. Job hunters can picture themselves in an office in Chicago, Yosemite National Park, or, hopefully for us, a school in China. For recruiters, it gives us a chance to talk about everything we love about our positions. For me, living abroad was such a life changer it\u2019s easier to talk to applicants about why they should do the same thing.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re attending any fairs coming up, here are three things to remember:<\/p>\n
Look alive:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0remember to dress well. Even if you don\u2019t have a suit or have a million things to do before the fair, be sure to at least look fresh with a nice shirt and shoes. It\u2019s true first impressions go a long way so think about your presentation as seriously as you would a job interview.<\/p>\n
