Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
For the foreseeable future, networking events and career fairs will likely take place virtually. I’ve attended a few of my own in recent months! I’ve heard from a few JobSeekers who are unsure about the best way to prepare and engage in these events. My pro tips below:
- Do your research in advance – who will be attending the event?
- Make sure your resume & LinkedIn are up-to-date.
- Write out your Personal Value Proposition and have it up on your computer for easy copy/paste - This is a short 2-3 sentence statement which includes your job function, where you currently and have added professional value, and your areas of interest/expertise.
- Send anyone you connect with a follow-up invitation to connect via LinkedIn.
- Take the initial conversation out of the chat and to a future Zoom, phone, or distant in-person meeting!
