Effective Strategies

to Navigate a Job Fair

By Chandra Johnson

Youʼre in a large room with a zillion tables. A connection to a job is on the line. The stakes are high in this economy. Everyone is ready to go, wearing a power suit, carrying portfolios, and looking confident. Are you there? Are you ready? Do you have a plan?

There IS a strategy to navigating a job fair, and this article will help you identify effective ways to get the most out of your job fair experience. Firstly, it will discuss what you should do to prepare for the job fair. Secondly, it will explain what to do while you are at the job fair, and lastly, it will describe what to do after the job fair since your job search doesnʼt end at 5:00.

Before the Job Fair • Identify your transferable skills. Employers are looking for candidates who know what their skills are and how they can be used effectively in their organization. Think about what you have to contribute to them. Keeping a story or two about your excellent communication skills, effective teamwork, or motivational talents might come in handy.

• Write an effective résumé that showcases your skills and contributions. When you highlight your contributions, the employer knows that your efforts had a positive impact to your organization and you will likely do the same for them.

• Have someone proofread your résumé before making copies.

• Go to the Career Center website to find the list of registered employers for the Career Expo.

You should spend time researching the companyʼs mission statement, structure, future goals, etc.

Take some notes on each company to keep in your portfolio that day. Donʼt bring out your research in front of the employer, but take breaks to review your notes before speaking to the next employer. Identify talking points and think about how to start the conversation.

• Identify organizations you want to visit and prioritize them. To settle your nerves, you may wish to visit first with one or two employers that are on your list, but are not your #1 choice.

• Practice your handshake. You should have a firm, confident handshake, not limp or a bone crusher.

At the Fair • Utilize your strategy. Figure out where your first employer is located in the expo. Review your notes for that company, and have a couple conversation starters in your head.

• Take initiative and start the conversation with the employer. This demonstrates your confidence to the interviewer.

• Remember that you may not get to spend much time with the employer if there are other students waiting, so stay positive if the conversation doesnʼt last as long as you might have hoped. You can let them know you would like to talk with them further about how you might be an asset to their organization and offer to leave a copy of your résumé and ask for their business card.

• After you meet with one employer, try to find a place (off the main expo floor) where you can take some notes about that employer. This will also give you a chance to review your notes for your next employer so you are still ready to impress.

After the Career Fair • Reflect on the career fair. What did you do well? What might you have done better?

• Follow up on any employer leads you received at the event, applying on the companyʼs website, signing up for an interview, or sending more information.

• Identify any companies you didnʼt get a chance to talk with, and follow up with them by submitting your materials for any position youʼre interested in or trying to arrange an informational interview with one of their employees or recruiters.

These are not the only things you can do to prepare for the job fair—and keep in mind this article doesnʼt address attire or how to write a résumé—but it does provide some useful strategies to navigate a job fair effectively. Please donʼt hesitate to visit the Career Center if you have further questions about what to do or expect at the Career Expo!

How Can Your University’s Career Center Help You?

By Jill Wiggins Director, Career Center Drury University

Although every universityʼs career center will differ in some ways, most have similar missions to help students develop skills that will last a lifetime. Some of the most common resources provided by career centers include self-assessment tools, experiential education opportunities, programming, assistance developing marketing tools, and coaching students through the job search or graduate school application process.

You can develop skills and gain information through programming offered by your career center.

Exploring your personality, interests, skills/abilities, and values will give you direction in choosing the major(s) and career(s) that are the best fit for you. Check with your career center to find out which assessments are offered.

Once you have the results of your selfassessment, you should do as much research as possible when considering different majors

and careers to make sure you find a good fit.

The most powerful type of research is experiential learning – spending time observing or working in different environments. This includes part-time jobs, job shadowing, informational interviews, volunteering and internships/co-ops.

You can develop skills and gain information through programming offered by your career center. Topics might include self-assessment, dressing for success, etiquette dinners, interviewing, cover letter/resume writing, budgeting, benefits, the pitfalls of digital dirt, and the job search process.

You will need a set of tools to use when marketing yourself to employers and graduate schools. Those tools might include cover letters, résumés, references, and portfolios. Your career center can assist you in developing these tools.

When you are ready to search for a position, whether it is part-time or full-time, job search resources are imperative. Some of the resources provided by your career center may include alumni networking, on-campus recruiting, job fairs, online job/resume databases, mock interviews and general advice about the job search process.

If you start working with your campus career center early in your college career, you will definitely have an advantage as college graduation approaches.

FCS (Farm Credit Services) Financial Farm Credit Services of Missouri comprises 102 counties in Missouri. Twenty-nine full-time branch offices located throughout the state provide financial and related services. Jefferson City is home to the central office and the organization has 185 employees. The territory has a widely diversified agricultural base. The northern portion is primarily cash grain and livestock operations, and the central section has a combination of livestock and row crop operations. The southern portion has cash grain units, dairy, beef cattle and contract poultry operations.

Farm Credit Services of Missouri serves approximately 12,000 customers (including Federal Land Credit Association and Production Credit Association) with an estimated total volume of $1.25 billion. A board of directors elected by member-borrowers/ stockholders governs the association as a cooperative. FCS customers have a variety of products available to assist them in their operations. Products include farm real estate loans, operating loans, home mortgage loans, credit-related life insurance, crop insurance and fee appraisals. History: The Farm Credit System is a nationwide financial cooperative that lends to agriculture and rural America.

Congress created the Federal Land Banks (FLBs) and their affiliated associations in 1916 to provide American agriculture with a dependable source of long-term credit. Federal Land Credit Associations also originated and serviced long-term mortgage loans. In 1933, the Production Credit Associations (PCAs) were formed as the organizations designed to deliver the intermediate- and short-term credit. Recent History: In 1985 joint management of FLBs and PCAs was approved and Farm Credit Services began. The system’s regulator, the Farm Credit Administration, approved further restructuring in 1990, resulting in the creation of FLCAs and PCAs under joint management. Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs) now provided short-, intermediate- and longterm loans. Farm Credit Services of Missouri started on July 1, 2002 from the merger of FCS of Eastern Missouri and FCS of Western Missouri. Lending Funds: Unlike commercial banks, Farm Credit System banks and associations do not take deposits. Instead, loanable funds are raised through the sale of System-wide bonds and notes in capital markets by a group of security dealers and dealer banks. The funds are channeled back to rural America through the nationwide network of Farm Credit lending institutions. farmcreditofmissouri.com

Career Fair Follow Up

Now that youʼve survived the career fair, you are probably wondering, “what do I do next?” The answer is that you want to continue to show your interest in employers by sending them a follow-up thank-you note or by calling them if they indicate it is acceptable to do so. The main purpose of this is to reiterate your interest in their company and the positions they have to offer.

It is best to follow up within a few days of attending the career fair. You want to show that you are eager and build on the connection made at the

You want to stand out against the rest of the eager candidates, right?

event. The first step is to review your notes and any company-specific materials you collected in order to decide which employers you would like to follow up with. It is important to make a good impression on everyone you talk to, but you only really need to follow up with those companies you

are genuinely interested in working for or maintaining a connection with. You can type, hand-write, or e-mail your letter. It is also a good idea to include your résumé just in case it was lost.

Reviewing your notes and companyspecific materials can also assist you in composing the letter. Including information from the conversation you had with the recruiter as well as from the print materials can help you tailor each letter to that specific company.

This is important in order to help the recruiter remember you and for you to show why it is that you want to work for that company specifically.

A follow-up phone call may also be appropriate if the recruiter indicated it was acceptable to do so. Review your notes and print materials from the employer and practice what you want to say before you make the call.

At this time, you can ask the recruiter any additional follow-up questions you may have and ensure that your job application is complete.

You want to stand out against the rest of the eager candidates, right?

Then follow up with employers to make yourself more memorable!

Johnson County, KS Sheriff’s Department Johnson County began the 20th century with about 18,000 people. It grew slowly until World War II, reaching a population of about 33,000 by 1940. After the war, suburban expansion quadrupled the population so that by 1960 over 143,000 people lived in the County.

As of the 2000 census, Johnson County is home to 451,086 individuals. Created in 1855 and organized in 1857, Johnson County was one of the first 33 counties in Kansas. Located near the twin cities of Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri, it contains 477 square miles, or 307,200 acres. Since the original establishment of the Shawnee Methodist Mission in 1839, Johnson County has developed into a complex mixture of urban and rural areas. County government was established in Kansas to carry out state prescribed functions at the local level; that is, to act as an administrative agent for the state in such matters as tax assessment and collection, registration of motor vehicles, and record keeping.

Also, as a local government, the County has assumed responsibility for provision of a wide variety of local services such as roads, public safety, health, environment, parks and recreation, planning and zoning, airports, library and civil defense. jocosheriff.org

KY3, Inc. KY3, Inc. is owned by Schurz Communications, Inc., South Bend, Indiana. The Schurz Communications family of broadcast and print operations includes five television stations, twelve radio stations, two cable television stations, 19 newspapers, one shopper paper, one phone guide and one commercial printing business. Each business is operated as a separate entity and has an independent management team. KYTV signed on the air on October 1, 1953, at 4:47 P.M and concluded the broadcast day at 10:30 P.M. The first day’s programming included not only KYTV’s first ever 6 and 10 P.M. newscasts but also a short patriotic program with lots of flag waving, the western Adventures of Kit Carson, and Groucho Marx starring in You Bet Your Life. Some of the early programming on KYTV included such local programs as Teen Time, The Wrangler, Championship Wrestling and The Children’s Hour. The Children’s Hour aired on KY3 from 1958 until 1987, and was the longest running locally produced program in the Springfield

market. KYTV brought The Ozark Jubilee, a live country and western program, to television in 1953. In 1955 the name changed to Jubilee USA and in 1961 was changed to Five Star Jubilee. The Five Star Jubilee, starring Red Foley, was the first color program broadcast to originate outside of New York or Hollywood. It was aired to the entire nation from right here in Springfield by KYTV. This show remained on the air until 1961 and was cancelled after 29 broadcasts. KYTV has been known for innovations from the beginning. Our remote gear was purchased in 1954, with the first remote broadcast being from the Ozark Empire Fair. Remote broadcasts were brought to viewers from the Plaza Bowl featuring area bowling teams. Other remotes included Springfield Christmas parades, Man with a Mike from the Tower Theater on the Plaza, many sporting events and, beginning in 1986 the well-known Celebrate the Ozarks trips throughout our viewing area. KYTV purchased one of the nation’s first mobile video tape units in March 1959.

This new equipment allowed us to travel throughout our viewing area to bring taped programming to the Ozarks from our own backyard. We videotaped the dedication of Table Rock Dam in 1959 and soon thereafter produced Harold Bell Wright’s well known and beloved Shepherd of The Hills on location at the Shepherd of The Hills Farm in Branson, MO. We were awarded the TV/Radio Mirror award for most original program in the Midwest for that production. An SNG (satellite news gathering) truck was purchased in 1986 and allows us to broadcast from anywhere in the United States. The SNG works like this: A signal is sent to satellite from the truck; satellite sends the signal to KY3; KY3 sends the signal to our Fordland transmitting tower; from there it goes to our viewers. Total time for signal travel is an amazing 1.5 seconds! Our production truck, Studio 3, was delivered to KYTV in 1989. It is a literal television studio on wheels and is used for remote broadcasts, sporting events and remote production. The truck is frequently hired by major networks, including ESPN, Fox Sports, Sports Channel and Prime Sports. The KYTV transmitting tower erected at Fordland, MO in 1961 was originally 1609 feet tall, missing being the tallest structure on earth by 61 feet. Later construction of a new tower increased its height to 2000 feet. Three St. Louis Gateway Arches stacked on top of each other would still be 110 feet shorter. We have just recently completed the construction of our new transmitting tower at Ford-

land for Digital Television. This tower is also 2000 feet tall. The original KY3 facilities built in 1953 were added to six times before being razed in September 1997. At that time, KYTV moved into its current building located immediately behind the site of the original building. The new building is 34,000 square feet, contains 45 miles of video, audio, phone and computer wire and was built at a cost of $7.5 million.
