How to prepare

A short plan for this networking event, based on its format, audience and details.

Before the fair

Register on the organizer's page ahead of time and keep your confirmation email.
Check the official page for the list of employers attending, then pick 3 to 5 you most want to meet.
Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
Check how to get to MEM – Centre des mémoires montréalaises, 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 5:15 p.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).
Your registration confirmation, printed or on your phone.
A charged phone with your LinkedIn profile or portfolio 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.
Look for the next career fair in Montréal so you can keep meeting employers while your pitch is sharp.
