Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I attend quite a few job fairs and I’ve noticed employers making the same mistakes over and over. Do you have any pointers for them? Signed, Job Fair Pro ©iStockphoto/asiseeit
Dear Job Fair Pro: Job fairs are a great way for employers to pre-screen applicants and grab the attention of job seekers who might otherwise pass over their recruitment ads.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
But you’re right. Some employers are not getting the most out of the time and money they spend participating in job fairs. At your next job fair, don’t just collect resumés. Use these face-to-face meetings to ask questions and create a short-list of your best candidates. Here are some tips to make the most of your next job fair: • Staff your booth with outgoing, enthusiastic people who want to help you find great new hires. • Stand up and make your booth welcoming to job seekers. • Make the first move—smile, make eye contact with job seekers, welcome them into your booth, and ask them if they are interested in learning more about your company and job opportunities. • Wear a nametag and prepare a short introduction explaining your company, industry, the types of positions available and kind of people you are looking for. • Attract visitors to your booth with a professional display, interactive demonstration, photos/videos and interesting give-a-ways. • Bring lots of business cards and have a list of available positions handy. • Be sure you have enough staff to avoid long lineups of job seekers and give your booth staff some much-needed breaks throughout the day. • Be courteous of other employers, including volume levels on your audio-visual equipment. • Label and secure laptops and other valuable equipment so you can focus your attention on the job seekers. • Wear comfortable shoes and take a short break every hour to relieve sore feet and backs. Bring a rubber mat if you are standing on concrete all day. • Take a tour around to other booths and borrow ideas you like for next time. • Don’t eat in your booth, leave your booth empty, or sit behind your table with your arms crossed and your eyes down. The people in your booth make the biggest difference. Booth staff should be friendly ambassadors for your company who enjoy meeting new people. They should also be properly trained to answer common job-seeker questions, including: • What positions are available and what do those people do? • What are the working conditions, hours and compensation? • What qualifications do I need for that position? • Do you have any entry-level positions available? • Will you provide training or support my training for this position? • How would you describe your corporate culture? • What do you like about your job/company? • What sets your company apart from other employers? • What is the growth outlook for your company? Want to put these tips to the test? You can find out about upcoming Alberta Works job fairs in your community at: humanservices.alberta.ca/jobfairs.
