How to prepare for attending the

Career and Internship Fair?

Attend Career Training Workshops to learn how to get well-prepared;
Study the list of participating companies and job vacancy information well in advance to set your target;
Research your interested companies by reading their job descriptions and visiting their websites;
Check the recruitment booth location and recruitment talk schedule of your interested companies;
Develop your résumé. You may join “Résumé Clinic” or have résumé review at the Career Development Centre by appointment;
Practice your interview skills by attending “Mock Interview Session” or scheduling appointment with the Career Development Centre;
Make enough copies of well-organized, error-free résumés;
Bring our Job Hunter Guide and a pen to write down important information from employers, as well as a folder to keep recruitment materials;
Dress in business professional attire. Formal suit is recommended. Light makeup for lady and clean appearance for gentleman are appropriate.

Navigate the fair on your own so that you can focus on the employers and show your independence;
Prioritize your interested companies. Practice your interaction with other companies first before you approach your top choices;
Keep in mind the first impression begins with the moment you approach employers. Greet them when you approach the recruitment booths. They may become your interviewers or even bosses in the near future;
Briefly introduce yourself confidently (for example, name, year of study, faculty, major, career interest, strengths, etc.) before you ask questions;
Ask relevant questions, avoid common and salary questions;
Respond to employers’ questions with confidence and sense;
Make good eye contact with employers. Use body language to convey confidence;
Ask for employers’ contact politely for your follow up.

Read the materials to find out more important information (e.g. corporate culture, management style, etc.) to make informed career decisions;
If needed, tailor a persuasive cover letter and attach it in front of your résumé for your job application;
Apply the job positions you are interested in as soon as possible so that you won’t miss the application deadline.
