However, pastures are not that green
everywhere. Unemployment and underemployment are two of the leading social and
economic problems in the modern times. To date, governments are struggling on
how to give sufficient number of jobs for all. Every year the number of
job-seekers increases but the number of jobs available is not that increasing
as what it was expected to. Most localities hold job fairs to give opportunity
for those are still looking for one.
A job fair you once neglected and did not
believe to might have been the great twist for a lifetime. Are there good
things on job fairs? Yes there are, and for you to win them, you have to take
note of the following especially on how to make it on a job interview:
Have a picture of the job you want. Go to a
job fair with a clear target. Think of what job, position and what are the
skills you have in order to get the position you planned. You must also
consider if these skills are valuable for an employer or employers. Attitude is
another important element. Employers look for people who are zestful and willful
towards work.
Prior to the job fair as well as the
interview, be sure to plan ahead if who are the employers you want to work for.
Dressing up for the fair or the interview is a helpful tip. Dress
professionally and do not wear too much make up. Dress up in a conservative but
decent way. Do not be too conscious and just carry your self with the confidence
needed.
Do not forget to bring correct and credible
resume. They serve as the mirror of what you are as an applicant- qualified or
not. There are sites which could guide one in preparing a resume. You could
visit these sites and seek help. Also, prepare an interesting yet sincere
introduction. Besides your basic information, include your reason for applying,
and the skills that are relevant to what the company looks for. Show how much
you are interested with the job but never manifest your aim for salary above
anything else.
This dictum is not true in all cases but
try your best in order to build a good picture in the employer’s mind. “First
impression lasts”- as many say.
