How to prepare
A short plan for this job fair, based on its format, audience and details.
Before the fair
- Research Fairmont Waterfront, Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing and Hyatt Regency Vancouver before you go: what they do, which roles are open and one recent piece of news.
- Mark the employers on the list that hire for the roles you want. That is your route for the day.
- Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
- Update your resume so the top third shows the roles and skills you want to talk about at this fair.
- Know your availability for evenings, weekends and holidays. It is often the first thing hiring managers ask.
At the fair
- Arrive early. The first hour is usually quieter, and employers have more time to talk.
- 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.
- Head to your priority employers first, then use the time left to explore booths you had not considered.
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.
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 Fairmont Waterfront, Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing and Hyatt Regency Vancouver and the other employers you met for roles posted after the fair.
- Look for the next career fair in Vancouver so you can keep meeting employers while your pitch is sharp.
