Hospital Career Fair
HOW TO 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.
Heart. Compassion. Career. COME GROW AS A NURSE WITH US. At Carilion Clinic, we are strong. And we are growing!
