Stuck in Your Job Search?

Why not try a career fair? They are a great way to get your face (and your resume) in front of a lot of people and companies in a short amount of time. Recruiters from all different kinds of companies go to career fairs to try and find their next new hire, and it could be you! CareerBuilder.com has a listing of career fairs in cities all over the nation. Click here to see the list. Be sure to check with your school’s career center and any career associations (like PRSSA, Advertising Federation, Law Associations, etc.) to see what they have planned as well.

Besides meeting recruiters, this is a great opportunity to see who else is out there competing for the same jobs! Plus, even if you don’t find the exact job you’re looking for at the fair, you might meet someone who does know of the right person or company that you should be talking to. You can also practice your "elevator speech" and interveiw skills as well.

Have you ever been to a career fair? Did it lead to a job opportunity?
