Job Fairs

      We are all going to have to go through one of these especially if we have to work to find a job in the real world after graduation.What you could expect is a one to two people at a table and a room, FILLED, packed tight in a room.

1.The best way to go about this is to create a rotation. I prefer to start where you would think others will finish. This way you are the first fresh face they see and be the first impression they get. 
2. Take ALL of the information they have provided on their tables. Once you leave take a minute and jot down a few notes if you really liked the potential job and what made them stand out in your head.
3. Do not leave until you feel you truly got something out of this experience. Whether or not your willing to relocate you have the opportunity to meet people, talk, and potentially have an interview!
4. When all is said and done go home to email them or write them a snail mail thank you card. This shows what kind of a kind, driven person you are.
5. Make a list of all of the potential jobs your interested in. Separate everything out on paper including the contact information of the person you met at the fair.
6. Don't give up. 
       I know I am still a current senior dreading the real world but I know that I cannot give up. I am very motivated and willing to move to find the perfect teaching job for me. The moment you give up is the moment you will regret when you have graduated and have no plans yet for the future. Continue to strive to be the person you want to be with your ideal job!
