Going to a hiring fair? It’s guaranteed to be saturated, but you can make the most of it with this step-by-step game plan! 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. Look at the companies attending and their current job openings. Even if there's no immediate opening, if a company you're targeting is there, it's worth going. If there is nothing of interest to you - you’re day can be spent doing more productive tasks.   𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵. Check LinkedIn for people working the booths. Look for company posts about the fair, see who likes them, and identify folks in talent acquisition, people coordination, or employee success. Connect with them before the event. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹. Contact those you've identified with an email like like: "Hi Sam, I noticed your company will be at the Toronto hiring fair next Wednesday. As the talent coordinator, will you be at the booth? I plan on going to learn more about the opportunities your company has open. Cheers!" This sets up a warm introduction for the day of the event. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁. Arrive an hour early. Have a resume printed for each job you’re interested in. At the top of each resume, handwrite the company name, the job title, and the job ID (if applicable). Get those resumes in the right hands! 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: 𝗕𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Focus on booths relevant to you. Ideally, you’ve connected with someone before the event – make sure to meet them! – If you read the above and thought, "That’s a decent strategy, but connecting with strangers like that is kinda creepy," you’re right, it can be. But here’s the thing, it’s all about how you approach it. Be genuine, professional, and pleasantly curious. People appreciate authenticity, and it can set you apart in a crowded environment.

👀𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗜 𝗖𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 As we grow in our careers, I think reflecting on the early years that laid the foundation of what we are today is helpful. 𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚, 𝙄 "𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤" 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜; a temporary role covering for paternity leave ended up launching a 10+ year career in talent acquisition. In the early days, it was contact center hiring. Post and pray was not an option with class-based hiring. I had to continually find ways to attract talent and talk to as many candidates as possible. 𝙄 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚. Building relationships with Chambers of Commerce, schools, and government agencies was necessary. 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙨! I did a lot of in-person hiring events, some of which were insanely busy. I recall staffing a brand new contact center in Killeen, TX. Following a paid media blitz, I flew in with a team for an all-day job fair. When we arrived at the state career center, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠. I didn't even eat lunch that day. I put a lot of energy into building that foundation. I traveled a lot and met many people. I was resourceful. I have grown a lot since then and adapted to the changing TA landscape, but sometimes, 𝙄 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙣-𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 🙂I would love to hear your story! How did you "cut your teeth" in your early career?
