Fair Goers:
- We are 5 days from fair!
- Wow! We are at 150 for resumes posted at mnpcfair.org! That is the site where employers will see resumes! We are STILL ahead of St. Thomas by 6!
- I will do session next Monday at 10 in the CSL on what to say to employers and/or review the employer list – whatever the people who show up need.
- Next Tuesday I will do a session at 3 on How to Talk to Employers and a Review of the Employer list at 3:30 – both in the Board Room.
- What to say to employers:
- I am (name), I am at (Sr./Jr./Soph.) at Gustavus with a (…..) major. I am not sure of all the job titles and opportunities you have, but the skills I can bring include: customer service, technology applications, writing/editing, (whatever you have). I am interested in what positions you have for candidates.
- Thank you for being at this fair! It is great for employers to be here on one day in one place. Are you seeing candidates that are a fit for your organization? (After they talk you can say the above.)
- You will need to read the conversation a bit….some want to just talk like the second bullet point, but others are just trying to talk to as many as possible so prefer the first bullet point.
- Attached are the slides from the Prep Party presentation.
- Do download the fair app: MNPC Fair + REALLY it is more helpful that you think!
- Do talk to your faculty about being away from campus next Wednesday.
- Do make copies of your resume on RESUME paper – available in the BookMark. Make 10 – 30 copies – depending on how many employers are of interest to you.
- Do get your most professional clothes in order for next Wednesday – comfortable shoes!
- If you are sending pre-selects……get that done TODAY! Monday is getting late for that!
- I am out of the office the rest of today at a meeting. So I will answer questions next Monday!
