Concerned about the benefits of a job fair? Here are some reasons to attend:

  • It’s a great opportunity to meet employers. Where else can you see that many employers in one location, or be seen by them?
  • It’s an investment in your future. You probably won’t get a job offer at a fair, but you will make some contacts that may benefit you in the future.
  • It introduces you to the realities of the job search.
  • it provides you with a chance to explore employers and career opportunities that you may never have thought about.
  • It prompts you to do something about your resumé
  • It provides crucial face-to-face contact with employers. You may send out hundreds of “faceless” résumés or online applications, but direct interaction with employers at a job fair allows you to deliver an elevator pitch selling your skills and personal qualities to the employer, ask questions, and make a great impression!
