Getting there

How to prepare

A short plan for this job fair, based on its format, audience and details.

Before the fair

  • Check the official page for the list of employers attending, then pick 3 to 5 you most want to meet.
  • If you need an accommodation at the event, contact the organizer ahead of time so it is ready when you arrive.
  • Put your portfolio or GitHub link on your resume, and add a QR code so employers can open it on the spot.
  • Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
  • Public service roles often use their own application portals. Note the job postings or programs you are interested in before the fair.
  • Check how to get to West Edmonton Mall, where to park and how long the trip takes, so you arrive calm.
  • Update your resume so the top third shows the roles and skills you want to talk about at this fair.

At the fair

  • Arrive by 11:45 a.m., about 15 minutes before the start, when lines are short and employers are fresh.
  • Open with your 30-second introduction, then ask what the team is hiring for right now.
  • After each conversation, write down the person's name, the role you discussed and what to follow up on.

What to bring

  • Printed copies of your resume, more than you expect to need (10 to 20 for a large fair).
  • Copies of your licences, tickets and certifications.
  • A charged phone with your LinkedIn profile or portfolio ready to show.
  • A portfolio link or a tablet with your work samples ready to show.
  • A pen and a small notebook, or notes on your phone, to record names and next steps.

After the fair

  • Send a short thank-you email within 24 hours to each person you spoke with, and mention something from your conversation.
  • Apply online to the roles employers pointed you to, and mention that you met them at the fair.
  • Connect on LinkedIn with a short note reminding them where you met.
