10 WAYS TO ‘SPEED DATE’ WITH THE EXHIBITORS... This Fair gives you the opportunity in a short period of time to meet many different organisations. You are likely to have a conversation for 3-10 minutes so make that short period of time count. You may wish to discuss with an exhibitor what their organisation does, what sort of candidates they are seeking and how/when to apply. You have nothing to lose but a lot to gain. Here are some useful tips: 1. Approach the Fair with the appropriate attitude… Look at this as a fun, no pressure event. You need to accept that you may not find the very opportunity that suits you but you are going to learn a huge amount about the graduate job market to help your next steps. 2. Prepare for your speed dating… Think about how you want to present yourself to exhibitors and recruiters Work out your Unique Selling Point (USP) - 3 x unique things that an exhibitor, after a busy day meeting 100s of students, will recall about you. Have a list of questions in your mind that you want to ask every exhibitor. 3. Make a list… of things you find desirable in a work opportunity, as well as those that are deal breakers.
4. Be Yourself… the purpose of the Fair is to let you form an opinion of an area of work opportunity and determine if that is attractive to you. 5. Show confidence… even if you don't feel confident, make an effort to appear confident to give a good impression. 6. Introduce yourself… to as many exhibitors at the Fair as possible. 7. Respect the time available… don’t overstay your welcome when you have discovered the perfect contact; continue to discuss with other exhibitors and to allow for other students and the exhibitor to have a conversation.
8. Close your discussion appropriately… if you have a CV to hand over or even a business card that is a small reminder to the exhibitor after the event. 9. Collect a business card… from every conversation… ‘Have you a card?’ 10. Follow up - don’t let this ‘date’ go cold… check your notes and follow up all connections afterwards. Then book a 1:1 interview with a Careers Consultant at http://bit.ly/TCstudent or come and see the Careers and Employability Service in New Hall. 19
