After the Job Fair: Following Up

November 25, 2009

You made a good impression on the recruiters at the job fair and did your best to communicate your serious interest in finding a new career. You came prepared for the event, dressed professionally, and were confident, positive and polite. Now it’s time to follow up.

For the job openings that appealed to you most and fit best with your skills and experience, it is important to take the time to send a follow up email to the recruiter who you spoke with. Say that you enjoyed speaking with them and learning about their company. Reiterate that you would like the opportunity to take the next step to move the process forward – with a formal interview if appropriate. You can also inquire about other opportunities in the company if the position that you discussed wasn’t the best fit for you.

Remember, attending job fairs is a great way to make all sorts of connections. You may find the perfect job opening, or make a contact in another area of a company that interests you, or even learn of employment opportunities from other job fair attendees. Make your best effort to make a good impression, make the most of the day, and you may find your next great job.
