How to Prepare

Tips for Success at the Career Fair

1. Bring Copies of Your Updated Resume
   If you want to make a strong first impression, preparation is key. Having multiple copies of your resume on hand shows you're ready and organized. This small step can help you stand out from the talent pool outside of NBCC.

2. Dress for Success
   Professional attire speaks volumes. When you look professional and act professional, you exude confidence and competence, which are key traits employers value.

3. Make Eye Contact and Offer a Firm Handshake
   People remember those who leave a positive impression. A firm handshake and steady eye contact demonstrate confidence and enthusiasm, giving you an edge as you pursue the career you've earned.

4. Perfect Your Elevator Pitch
   At a career fair, time is limited. Prepare a 20 - 30 second introduction that highlights your skills, experiences, and what makes you unique. This concise pitch will help you communicate effectively with recruiters without needing a lengthy conversation. Save humor for the lunchroom after you've landed the job!

5. Don't Skip Breakfast
   Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day—especially on Career Fair day. Meeting potential employers requires energy and focus, and you don't want to run out of steam during important conversations. Fuel up to stay sharp and confident.
