Recruitment fairs are great opportunities for job seekers to meet potential employers and learn more about the companies they’re interested in. However, with so many people attending these events, it’s important to prepare well in advance to make the most of your time there.
So, ahead of this weekend’s Jobs Expo Dublin at Croke Park, we take a look at 5 ways to prepare for Ireland’s leading recruitment fair, so that you can make the most of the event and make a great impression on the companies you meet.
Get Ready to Get Ahead at Jobs Expo Dublin
Research the companies attending
Before the Jobs Expo Dublin, take some time to research the companies that will be exhibiting. Look at their websites, read about their values, and learn more about their products or services. This information will be invaluable when you speak to the recruiters at the event, as it shows that you have a genuine interest in the company and are well-informed.
Prepare your CV
Your CV is an essential part of the recruitment fair. Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the companies you’re interested in. Print out several copies and bring them with you to the event. You should also prepare a brief cover letter that you can leave with the recruiter. This will help you stand out from other candidates and make a lasting impression.
Dress appropriately
It’s important to dress professionally at a recruitment fair. This shows that you’re serious about the job search and are prepared to present yourself in the best possible light. Even if the company you’re interested in has a more casual dress code, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and dress conservatively.
Prepare your elevator pitch
An elevator pitch is a brief summary of who you are, what you do, and what you’re looking for in a job. This should be no longer than 30 seconds and should be tailored to the company you’re speaking to. Practice your elevator pitch in advance so that you’re comfortable delivering it on the day. This will help you to make a great first impression and get the conversation flowing.
Follow up with the companies you meet
After the recruitment fair, make sure you follow up with the companies you met. Send a thank-you email to the recruiter, reiterating your interest in the company and thanking them for taking the time to speak with you. This will show that you’re serious about the job search and interested in the company. You should also connect with them on LinkedIn, which will allow you to stay in touch and keep up-to-date with any job openings in the future.
