Today is the University of Arkansas - Sam M. Walton College of Business Career Fair that will provide an opportunity for our students to connect with over 150 employers. Students, this is an opportunity for you to connect with companies who are looking to hire you so please take advantage of this opportunity while you can. Here are a few tips to prepare: 1. Study up on the companies you are most interested in working for prior to attending the Career Fair, learn about their brands, and read their press releases. 2. Prioritize which companies you want to talk to first and find them early on when you arrive. You can browse the list of companies attending and which type of roles they are hiring for on Handshake: https://loom.ly/IwUXawE 3. Prepare questions for the recruiters that you stop and chat with, look them in the eye when speaking with them and be sure to thank them for their time. 4. Follow up and stay connected after the Career Fair, get the recruiter's business card, connect with them on LinkedIn and send a follow up thank you e-mail--it makes all of the difference. I wish you all a wonderful Career Fair!

The practice career fair at Reynolds Hall on September 17, 2024, was great practice for the real upcoming career fair on October 2, 2024. I had a lot of fun talking to great people at the practice career fair and learned many new skills. It helped me to get a good understanding of what I need to do to prepare myself. At the practice career fair I was able to talk to many different companies and practice my conversational skills. The more I talked to companies the more confident I got in myself. During these conversations, I was able to practice my personal pitch to companies. Each conversation was different so tailoring my pitch to the company presented was important. For the future, I look to expand on the lessons I learned and applying them to my next career fair. One thing I learned is to research the companies I want to talk to in the future. I learned that it is important to know the company you are approaching. Now that I have some experience, I will use it to the best of my ability and I look forward to the upcoming career fair and connecting with new companies.

Initiate conversations to ask pertinent questions and gain valuable insights. Demonstrate confidence and take a proactive approach when interacting with employers. After each discussion, take a moment to jot down notes and formulate a follow-up plan. This reflection period also provides an opportunity to gather your thoughts before approaching the next company. If you wish to follow up after the fair, request the employer’s contact information.

8moBrent, Is this mostly for Seniors, or can JRs & Sophs walk the fair to get an idea of the companies who are attending to generate potential, future interest? Thanks! DB
