“We’re pleased to bring job seekers and employers together for this important event,” says Dr. Geanell Adams, Dean of Workforce Education. “With a variety of companies attending, it’s a great opportunity to network, showcase your skills, and explore new career paths.”

In preparing to make the most of the opportunity, Co-Lin offers these tips to job-seekers:

  • Update Your Resume: Make sure your resume is current, highlighting your most relevant skills and experiences. Print several copies to distribute to potential employers.
  • Dress Professionally: First impressions matter. Dress in professional attire, even if the job fair has a more casual atmosphere.
  • Practice Your Introduction: Prepare a short, clear introduction of who you are, what you do, and what you’re looking for in your next job. Keep it brief but impactful.
  • Attend Prep Events: Prepare for success with our Free Job Fair Prep Consultations, where you’ll refine your resume, sharpen your interview skills, and enhance your networking techniques.
