Spring Expo Prep! 

 

Getting Started & Dress Code

Business Professional attire is expected at CAREER EXPO and Interview Day. If you need professional attire, stop by the Empowerment Closet in the Russell Palmer Career Management Center (M120) to rent clothes for free!

  • Bring many copies of your current resume and be prepared to sell yourself!
  • Greet recruiters with a handshake and smile.
  • Do your homework – research all aspects of a company before EXPO.
  • Information on companies attending and the jobs they are hiring for are listed on Handshake.

 

Career Fair Conversation

Conversations at career fairs can be intimidating. Below is a sample conversation tool you can use to prepare. It is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the employer and the opportunities they have before making an introduction. 

 

 

 

Interview Day

Always bring extra resumes to interviews. You should also bring a list of your references in case it is requested on an application. Many interviews are behavioral based. That means the employer will ask for specific examples of how you performed in each situation.  

 

Example: Tell me about a time when you gave exceptional customer service.

Example: Tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership. 

 

 

Post Interview - Thank You Email

Following the interview, you will send a thank-you email to your interviewers within 24 hours.   Request the recruiters' business cards so you have their title and correct address. If you did not get a business card, check on Handshake or contact SIRC.   See a sample thank you letter below.
