How to prepare

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

Before the fair

  • Research Cargojet Inc., Pacific Coast Community Resources and Sun Life before you go: what they do, which roles are open and one recent piece of news.
  • Register on the organizer's page ahead of time and keep your confirmation email.
  • Mark the employers on the list that hire for the roles you want. That is your route for the day.
  • If you need an accommodation at the event, contact the organizer ahead of time so it is ready when you arrive.
  • 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 Richmond Public Library, Brighouse Branch, 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).
  • 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.
  • Check the careers pages of Cargojet Inc., Pacific Coast Community Resources and Sun Life and the other employers you met for roles posted after the fair.
