[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just attended a job fair as an employer. I don't think they are a waste of time but you really need to make an impression. I talked with people for 2 hours straight. Only 2 people really stand out in my mind, in terms of being dynamic, well-informed about my organization, asked really good questions, etc. Then follow up with an email so I've got your contact info (and maybe attach your resume for reference again). [/quote] I agree with this. I attended a couple of job fairs as I prepared to graduate from grad school. I was focused in my approach - I knew that there were certain employers there I wanted to speak with and did my research in advance. I made sure I had my "elevator speech" down as to why their companies were of interest and what I thought I could bring to the table, and I followed up. Job fairs led to a couple of offers, though I ultimately went with a job through the on-campus recruiting process. [/quote]
