Developing relationships with people that can help you reach your goals. Communicating your successes and accomplishments to your network.

A job fair is the showplace for job-seekers, with employers sizing up candidates quickly, based on appearances and first impressions. If you are to succeed, you have to take a very aggressive yet structured approach. Job-seekers that pay attention to the following are generally more successful at job fairs: Learn what to do before the job fair and tips on what to bring to the job fair. How to dress to project success. How to introduce yourself to a hiring manager. What to do while at the job fair. How to follow-up after you leave. HOW TO CREATE AVALUE BASED RSUM In a time when competition for jobs is intense, you dont just need a r辿sum辿, you need a professional r辿sum辿 that grabs the employers attention and makes a lasting impression. You need a r辿sum辿 that says,I am the candidate that can make the di鍖erence. I can make your team a winning team.A r辿sum辿 is the most important tool you carry with you when you are looking for a job. It is your first meeting with a potential employer, and your chance to make a good first impression -- and a lasting impression. This workshop will provide you with guidance and important tips to make your r辿sum辿 the most e鍖ective it can be. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element for successful interview preparation. Know as much as possible about the companies that will be at the job fair. That will allow you to make an interview more interactive and could be just what you need to get ahead in a competitive job market. This session also provides information about the most common interviewing mistakes most people make. It also provides information about the importance of practicing interviewing, allowing you to analyze your presen- tation of your background and qualifications. Many job-seekers over 40 often encounter something they werent looking for: a career advancement barrier that many older workers face in a workplace seemingly dominated by young people. This session provides advice on how to turn your age into an asset. Dont use age as a crutch. Anticipate stereotypes and prepare to counter them. Get tech savvy. Focus on experience, not age. Avoid using dates when possible. Dont believe themythsabout older workers, instead tell the hiring manager the truth.
