How to prepare
A short plan for this hiring event, 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.
- Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
- Read the roles on offer and pick the ones that fit you, so you can say which you are applying for.
- Check how to get to Community Employment Services, 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 2:45 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.
- Hiring events move quickly. Be ready to fill in an application form and talk about your availability.
What to bring
- Printed copies of your resume, more than you expect to need (10 to 20 for a large fair).
- 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.
- Photo ID. Some hiring events ask for it when you fill in an application.
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.
- If you were asked to complete an assessment or send documents, do it within a day or two.
- Look for the next career fair in Woodstock so you can keep meeting employers while your pitch is sharp.
