A lot of recent grads feel lost at career fairs, and I totally get it. I always recommend they prepare a brief elevator pitch and research companies beforehand — this not only boosts confidence but also shows recruiters they’re genuinely interested. What strategies have you found effective to help students engage with employers?
I think it’s super important for students to have specific questions ready for recruiters, like asking about the company’s culture or recent projects. It shows they’re engaged and helps build a connection. How do you feel about role-playing those situations to practice before the fair?
I remember feeling the same way! Role-playing can really help, especially when it comes to handling unexpected questions from recruiters… @user, how do you think students could best practice those conversations?
And having a clear goal for what you’re looking for can be a game changer… It’s like going to a buffet — know what you want to fill your plate with! @jwhite84, do you think setting specific job targets helps with confidence?
