Let's Peek at 5 Successful Tricks to Get a Job at This Job Fair

Job fairs, or what is commonly referred to as Job Fair, are events that are highly anticipated by job seekers, especially for fresh graduates who do not yet have experience in the workforce. Events like this are usually organized by websites that provide job vacancy information or certain company institutions.

However, the limited time of the event often makes it difficult for job seekers to optimize the series of events in searching for job information. Moreover, the presence of many other qualified candidates also competing for jobs adds to the challenge. Nevertheless, it is still possible to land a job at your dream company if you know the tricks. For those of you who will be attending a Job Fair, here are 5 tips to succeed in participating in the Job Fair.

1. Before attending the Job Fair, utilize the internet and gather as much information as possible about the Job Fair event and the companies involved.
 

Prepare yourself by researching online about the companies participating in the Job Fair. After reviewing all the participating companies, make a list of your top choices and visit their booths first as soon as you enter the job fair arena. It is advisable to visit your dream company's booth at the beginning of the event. Also, ensure that you are in good physical condition as this event can be quite exhausting for both job seekers and recruitment teams.

2. Create an attractive CV to impress your dream company and prepare enough copies of your CV and Resume to apply to backup companies.

The CV is the first thing that companies will look at, so make it with an engaging writing style and explain your skills and qualities within it. Additionally, make sure you have enough copies of your CV, both in softcopy and hardcopy, for the companies you are targeting as well as backup companies. Many job fair participants often forget to bring copies of their CV and resume.

3. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are suitable for walking in a crowded environment while still appearing professional and neat to make a good impression on the companies you are targeting.
 

Clothing is also an important point when applying for a job, as recruitment teams will assess a person's professionalism based on their attire. Therefore, make sure to give a positive first impression with what you wear. However, this does not mean you have to wear a complete blazer or suit and high-heeled shoes; for men, a neat shirt, dress pants, and shoes are sufficient, while women can wear a sweet and beautiful blouse set in neutral and non-flamboyant colors, along with comfortable shoes for walking around the Job Fair booths.

4. You can greatly increase your chances of getting hired if you prepare yourself to present well and feel confident during direct interviews with the targeted companies. 
 

At job fairs, many companies will conduct interviews on the spot, which presents a great opportunity for you to convince the company that you are indeed worthy of joining them. You must present yourself with sufficient confidence, as this is one of the keys to success in facing job interview processes. 

5. Job Fair is one of the opportunities that can connect you with your dream job, so do not hesitate to ask directly to the companies you are targeting when submitting your CV. 
 

In addition to submitting your application documents at the company stands you are targeting, it is also advisable to ask some important questions regarding the job vacancy descriptions that the company is offering. This way, you can gain a deeper understanding of the company, and if you end up getting a job with them, you will already have some knowledge of their culture and work ethic.
