Law Enforcement Career Fair
TURN A JOB FAIR INTO A JOB OFFER
Research ALL companies attending. Know leadership, location, mission, products, and services. Revise your résumé to fit specific company needs from those of interest, one for each company with a general résumé for the others. Bring more than enough résumés (more than the companies of interest). Keep a portfolio. Leave your backpack at home. Dress for success. A suit (black, navy, or charcoal gray) is always a safe choice. However, make sure you do your homework and know what the organization wears. Greet everyone with a smile and a handshake. Be ready with your Elevator Pitch. Go first to companies that you’re not as interested in. You might be surprised, and it’s great practice! Speak clearly and concisely and always end on a positive note. Be prepared with questions for the employer. Make sure to get employers’ business cards. Send thank-you notes to each of the employers within 2 days. Follow up specifically with employers of interest within 2 days, and as often as necessary afterwards.
