So, you should prepare your interview skills and what to say. To schedule trial interviews, contact Daly at [email protected] or call 215-881-7967.

Another important step in preparing for a job fair is practicing the 30-second intro.

First impressions are also very important which is why this is a highly recommended job by the CPD office. CPD recommends Thebalancemoney.com for tips on doing a 30 second intro.
A current PSU student, who is working in CPD and has attended previous job fairs, said: “While the job fair may seem daunting, remember that employers are there to recruit talent like you! I see the fair as a meet-and-greet session between Penn State employers and talent. I like to think. As you approach the employer’s desk, take a breath, relax, and be positive. Remember to be confident in yourself and authentic! First impressions leave a lasting impression, so it’s important to use a 30-second elevator pitch so you can describe your skills and personality. .When I went to a job fair, I was nervous. I couldn’t imagine having a confident conversation with employers. There were so many people around the tables, how could I not get confused? To ease my anxiety, I made a list of talking points sion for all the organizations I wanted to meet with. This allowed me to feel prepared and less stressed Last semester At another job fair, I met a recruiter who allowed me to conduct an informational interview with them to find out more about the their profession. I not only had a professional contact, but also a mentor! “
