SUMMER JOB FAIR GUIDE

What Should You Wear to the Summer Job Fair?

In a job market where multiple candidates are competing to get the interview that gets the job, being noticed for the wrong reason is a bad thing. How you present yourself can make a great first impression, or may lose your potential employer’s interest before you can say “Hello”. So, what should you wear?

Although the Summer Job Fair will have a more casual atmosphere than other fairs at BGSU, you should consider the type of employment you are seeking when deciding what to wear. While summer camp jobs do not require suits and ties, candidates for full-time career positions should dress more formally. Business casual is acceptable for some internships

and co-ops; when in doubt, dress “up” rather than “down”. Your goal should be to create a positive and professional image for the employer you want to impress.

Some guidelines apply to all jobseekers at all times. For both women and men:

1. Good hygiene and a neat appearance is essential. Clean teeth and fresh breath is a must. Fragrance (cologne, aftershave, perfume) should be used minimally.

2. For best impressions, body piercings and tattoos should not be visible to perspective employers.

3. Clothing should fit; too tight, too short, too high, or too low will convey the wrong message about your ability to present yourself as a professional. All garments should be neat, clean, and with as few wrinkles as possible.

4. Don’t chew gum. And if you are a smoker, eliminate all traces of smoke prior to the job fair or interview.

WHEN POSSIBLE, CHOOSE FORMAL BUSINESS ATTIRE FOR POST-GRADUATE, COOPS, AND INTERNSHIPS: For men, this includes conservative two-piece business suits in blue, brown or grey with a properly knotted tie in a coordinating color. A small pattern or small print tie is fine. Dark belt, socks and shoes should coordinate with the suit colors. The shoes should be well polished leather tie or slip-on dress shoes.

For women, a two-piece business suit (skirt or pants) in a solid conservative color is the safest choice. A simple dress with a business jacket is another option.

Skirts should be no more than two inches above the knee. Shoes should be colorcoordinated pumps with a conservative heel – no open toes!

FOR PART-TIME AND SEASONAL POSITIONS, CHOOSE BUSINESS CASUAL: For men, a combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt), trousers (such as khakis or blue, green, brown, or black) with a belt, and modest shoes (such as loafers) with socks is generally acceptable. A blazer or sweater can be added.

For women, a reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or full-length trousers of a non-jeans material combined with a top (such as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.

WHEN IN DOUBT, CHOOSE THE LOOK THAT BEST PROJECTS THAT YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING THE JOB. Remember, in the end, a friendly smile, good manners, and confidence are the very best accessories in any environment.

Remember to update your

Bowling Green State University

Back to the Basics: Resumes and Cover Letters Chronological Resume Format

POLISH YOUR RESUME It is not uncommon for an organization to receive hundreds of resumes for one position. How can your resume stand out from the rest? It should clearly demonstrate that you meet and exceed the qualifications for the position.

Customize your resume for a specific position by updating it with the most relevant experiences and skills. You can use the job description to help guide your writing by making sure to indicate that you have all the required and preferred qualifications.

WRITE TARGETED COVER LETTERS An employer can detect a generic cover letter a mile away. So, why do people send the same cover letter to every organization to which they apply? A well-crafted, targeted cover letter is designed to illustrate your knowledge of the organization, the efforts to which you will go to understand the organization, and how your strengths align with the organization’s structure and needs.

After researching an organization, use the information to write a targeted cover letter that will clearly demonstrate how you meet the qualifications for the position. This will entice the employer to review your resume and invite you to interview for the position.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS: » Review the chronological resume example included in this Summer Job Fair Guide on this page. » Visit Student Employment Service’s website, bgsu.edu/stuemp, and check out “Creating my First College Resume” on the left navigation sidebar. » Schedule a resume appointment with a career consultant by calling the Career Center 419-372-2356 or Student Employment Services 419-372-2865 Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. » Stop by the Career Center, 318 Math Science Building, during Resume and Cover Letter Critique Drop-In Hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., for help refining your job search documents.

SUMMER JOB FAIR GUIDE

Seeking Employment? Check out WorkNet: Your Falcon Job Connection Work Net WorkNet is BGSU’s online database that connects you with organizations and non-profit agencies, on-campus departments and offices, and school districts seeking to hire BGSU students and recent alumni. WorkNet gives you access to on and off-campus job listings, co-op and internship postings, and career (post graduation) opportunities. It is your one-stop shop for whatever type of employment you are currently seeking.

To access your WorkNet account, log into your MyBGSU and click on the WorkNet (Jobs & Internships) link found on the left navigation bar.

ONCE LOGGED IN YOU WILL NEED TO: 1. Complete or update your profile. You must complete this section first before you can access any other modules within WorkNet. 2. Upload your resume. Follow the resume approval requirement guidelines available on the home page under Additional Resources.

Click on the Resume link under “Getting Started” and give your document a name.

Make sure you read the full job description and the “How to Apply” instructions. Some employers request you apply only through WorkNet, and some want you to only apply through their websites.

Create your One-Minute Commercial: Be Prepared to Introduce Yourself to Employers Your success as a job hunter will rely heavily on the initial impression you give employers. To improve your chances of making a favorable impression, practice delivering a one-minute commercial about yourself and the contributions you could make to an organization.

Scheduled information sessions are posted in WorkNet.

Example of a One-Minute Commercial Hello, my name is Kathy Thomason, and I am a sophomore Child and Family Community Services major. I have been looking forward to speaking with you today. I noticed on BGSU’s WorkNet system that you have an opening for the summer. I am very familiar with the excellent work you do at United Way, and I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to your outstanding organization.

Through my volunteer experience, I also have gained great project management skills. I recently coordinated a food drive for my sorority in which we collected 300 pounds of food to give to a local food pantry. To achieve this, I created a marketing plan to get the word out and collaborated with other organizations on campus. Overall, the food drive was a success, and I am looking forward to my next service project.

Introduce yourself by first and last Briefly share your knowledge about the

newly posted positions that match your saved search criteria.

I have been involved with volunteer work during my entire college and high school career. I believe that being a community advocate is an important part of my life. Specifically, I have been a Big Sister for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization for the past three years. Through this volunteer opportunity, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a young man.. Each week we work on social and coping skills, but also have fun. I am proud to say that I believe he has become a much more confident student and has been able to control his anger more effectively than when we first met.

Using the following format will help you develop a one-minute commercial suitable for use at the Summer Job Fair and other career fairs: names, major, and class standing (e.g., senior).

highlighting your relevant skills and strengths.

Express your interest in learning more about the organization by asking a direct question or by requesting an interview.

After reviewing your website, I noticed that you are taking an active role in the adult literacy project. I was also excited to read about your three-year Community Impact Plan. The document addresses the need to investigate the serious problems that devastate people’s lives and threaten the welfare of the local community. How will your new hires be involved with the plan?

JOB FAIR Summer Break: Make it “Work” for You Summer jobs are also excellent opportunities for developing “transferable skills” – abilities that can be useful in any occupation, regardless of the type of work. Time management, working well independently and as good team members, communication skills, problem solving, and attention to detail are examples of transferable skills that are valued highly by employers.

It may be hard to believe, but spring semester will be over before you know it.

With a bit of planning, you can use summer to gain valuable skills and experience to help you make progress in meeting your career goals. If your degree requires an internship or co-op experience, summer is a great time to get related experience that can be included in your academic transcript.

Even if your major doesn’t require an internship or co-op, working at a job that’s related to your major or career is the best possible kind of experience!

EVALUATE YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES. By answering a few questions, you can help identify options for making the most of your summer. » How much time can you dedicate to a job, given your other summer obligations? » If you plan to take classes in Bowling Green this summer, are there on-campus jobs or jobs in the community where you can get experience related to your major?

Can you work full-time and take an online course? » How important is it for you to earn a higher wage versus a job that provides valuable experience? Should you pass up a higher-paying routine job to accept a lowerpaying internship with an organization where you will work side-by-side with professionals in your field? » Are you willing to relocate for the summer, if the right opportunity is available » What would you like to learn in a work experience that you can’t learn in the classroom? » What skills do you want to develop?

» What kind of work environment do you prefer? » What types of work assignments/ environments are most rewarding to you?

Understanding your work preferences and career objectives can help you identify experiences that will help you reach your career goals.

PLAN YOUR SEARCH. Make an appointment with a Student Employment Services staff member to jump-start your job search. Create a system for tracking your searches. Note to whom you apply, application date, your employer contacts, and follow-up actions. Update your WorkNet account (in MyBGSU) and create and save a search for opportunities that meet your objectives or to identify employers seeking students with your major. Pace yourself – if you start now, and work systematically, you won’t feel nearly as pressured as if you try to do everything on short notice. Planning for summer now will put you ahead of others who wait.

USE ALL THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU. Attend the Summer Job Fair on March 13, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the BowenThompson Student Union to identify summer employment options. Consult with faculty in your field of study–ask where their current and former students have interned or completed co-ops.

WORK YOUR PLAN. Once you’ve determined your goals for the summer, identified your personal preferences, done your research, and secured your summer job, internship, or co-op, you’re ready to focus on implementing your plan by maximizing your on-the-job learning. » Regardless of where you work or the type of work you do this summer, do your best! » Investigate whether or not your summer work experience qualifies as a co-op or internship by consulting with your academic department, college, or the Career Center. You may be eligible for internship/ co-op credit or a free COOP 50 notation on your BGSU transcript.

» Keep a journal of the work skills you use or develop during the course of the summer.

Did you lead a team? Work on a special project? Develop a new way of processing inquiries? Did you receive special training, consideration, or recognition? » Ask for feedback from your supervisor and use it to build expertise and identify areas for improvement, or additional learning. » Think about what knowledge, skills, and abilities you learned or developed this summer, incorporate them into your

resume, and reflect on how your work experience relates to your major or career plans. » Ask your supervisor or team leader to serve as a reference or professional contact for your future work experiences.

With some planning and preparation, you can turn your summer into a careerbuilding experience. For additional information about finding a summer job, contact Peg Bucksky, Summer Job Fair Coordinator at 419-372-9294.

Summer Camp Jobs: Why Work at a Camp?

DOES THIS DESCRIBE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW? You love the outdoors. You love hiking and biking and sailing. Your good friend says you’re great with kids.

If you relate to this, then there’s the perfect place waiting for you: summer camp.

Over half a million college students will find their way from their campus to camps this summer to fill openings at a variety of themed camps for children of all ages across the United States.

Consider this: » Live, play, and work in the great outdoors. » Go on adventures and learn to do new things. » Experience other parts of the country. » Make new friends from all over – even from other countries. » Bank more money than you think – with few expenses. » Become a child’s hero. » Be a leader.

Camp jobs offer valuable skill-building, leadership, training, and enrichment opportunities found nowhere else. Regardless of your college major, camp experiences allow you to learn and develop skills that will enhance your job marketability. Camps for students with special needs, specific educational and career interest, and talents return to BGSU to recruit at the Summer Job Fair. The benefits go far beyond a paycheck. Business executives often note that experience as a camp counselor translates into excellent management and personnel skills. To learn more, visit the camp representatives attending the BGSU Summer Job Fair. For additional camp opportunities, visit http://www.acacamps.org/jobs/.

SUMMER JOB FAIR Don’t Forget to Say “Thank You” You did it! You attended the job fair, made many excellent connections, participated in interviews, and now feel confident your job search is off and running. What is the next step? Follow up by sending a thank you letter or email to all the employers you met at the Summer Job Fair to reaffirm your interest and remind them of your qualifications.

Sending a thank you letter or email is not only proper etiquette; it also reinforces your ability to follow through. Please keep the following tips in mind: » Send letters or emails out in a timely manner, the next day if possible. If your communication arrives within a day or two after your meeting with the recruiter, you have a better chance of being remembered. » When deciding to send a letter or an email, consider that many recruiters are

travelling for extended periods and keep in touch by email. A hand written note may be more formal, but may not be seen until long after the job fair. » Address your letter or email to an individual, instead of using the name of an office or department. » Remember to keep your letter or email concise; two to three paragraphs can be powerful and more likely to be read. As you highlight your abilities in the letter, focus on the company’s needs rather than your own. Your letter is an opportunity to tell the recruiter what you can offer his or her organization.

For examples of thank you letters, review Chapter 4 “Job Search Letters” in the B!G Job Search Guide at http:// www.bgsu.edu/downloads/enrollment/ file74453.pdf.

Five Things to Take Away From Job Fairs 1. Business cards from the recruiters you’ve met. Remember to send thank you letters or emails to individual recruiters to express your interest in the organization.

2. Notes about contacts you’ve made. Writing notes on the back of a business card will help you remember specific details about a conversation with the recruiter. Also, jot down the names of people who did not have business cards. Take a few minutes after you leave each table to write these notes.

3. Information about the types of positions and training programs available at various organizations. Most recruiters will have information for you to collect, including company brochures, job descriptions, etc. Make sure you demonstrate interest in the organization rather than the “give-aways” they have at their tables.

4. A better sense of your job options. If you have used your time effectively, you will have met with many recruiters whose organizations employ people with your skills and interests. Think about their hiring needs and requirements and evaluate whether your qualifications and background are a good match.

5. Increased confidence. A job fair gives you an opportunity to practice interacting with recruiters and managers in a more relaxed environment than that of a formal interview.

Use this experience to practice talking about your career interests and goals, academic and personal accomplishments, and relevant work experiences.

Make the most of your time spent at job fairs. Check out different employers, jobs and career paths. Seize the opportunity to connect and network with potential employers who may offer you a job.
