Summer-corps has job fairs

I am aware this video is very old and since then things changed a lot but I will going to possible to my first job fair in my home country. I have no real opinion on this subject because when I got my first and still one job I did not needed to make a deep interview 14 years ago. What I got from the invitation I cannot really prepare for the job fair because there is no any list on the invitation letter to specify what companies may visit it. I only could give my resume, dress regular, and introduce myself hopefully a way they may find it symphatetic. The only real reason to visit these is probably the option to get connections or just get into a database to be available when they feel you needed.

This MNSUJOBFAIR youtube feature of some of the examples of what each recruiter looks for during a job fair is illuminating including visual clothing samples that a job applicant is wearing of what is acceptable to wear at a job fair.

I'm going to my first job fair today!! Wish me luck!

Attended a jobs fair on 30/8/2023 it was ok there was loads of jobs it was packed full of people. I will be applying for some of the jobs. I currently work for a local agency, I would like to find a permanent job vacancy that pays more. Enjoying collecting the code to scan to join there company and the free pens note pads free sweets. I didn't dress up at all very casual wear at the jobs fair.

Can't wait till I get a job dressing fancy and shaking hands with confidence. Lol if that's that only skills you are looking for in an individual, you are going to have alot of inexperienced workers

Yes, because having a fancy briefcase makes me a better engineer... Im gonna be covered in elbow grease and bits of metal all day? The classism in employment practices is still very backwards. Yes, make an effort, but make an effort in your own way. I'll be wearing my Nice Suit, but it shows my tattoos- my tattoos have meaning to me. They show I have the strength to sit and have needles jabbed into my arm for 3 hours straight. You're hiring people, not automata, and a diverse workforce is the key to success.

You don't always know in advance what companies will be there, and when you do half of them don't always show up.

LOL

The chick in the Target bib is talking about wearing professional attire.

Coming unprepared... how much preparation do you need to walk up to a target booth? Had they prepared, they'd know to run the other way...

5:42 I Love it when they are totally prepared with my name is. I Proceed to do a perfect rendition of Eminem's "My Name Is" 🎤

can these people know that the students are usually working and taking 5 classes lot of things going on in their lives .pls don't make try to make their lives harder

I never understood the dress to impress like having to dress up slacks and button shirt or tie etc. I get it dress nice but why does it have to be suit and tie??? 🤔 what if someone cannot afford a suit and tie?? Some of the best people I hired on my staff came dressed to the interview in a really nice pair of jeans and a nice polo shirt looking clean cut and everything. They communicated well, made eye contact had some really good questions to ask as well. I never understood the concept of showing YOU NEED to show up in suit and tie 🤔 I know people who go to interviews all dressed out and get hired yet quit a week later or become not very good employees 🤔 🤷‍♂️ really wish more companies would change that rule. There are some amazing people out there that might not be able to afford a suit and tie but they still come dressed nicely and become some of the best employees you hire. I get it if someone shows up in shorts flips flops or something like that I can you not hiring them but if they have a really nice pair of jeans, dressed neatly with a nice polo shirt and have a fresh clean cut looking presentable, shouldn’t that be enough? 🤔 just my opinion and speaking from experience.

Ohhhh the video is 10yrs old…makes sense now

This is disgusting. I don't like the way it's going with in 1 minute and 30 seconds. They all sound like robots.

so why steve job dressed unprofessionally

Oh yeah you need to be dressed to 9’s to impress to get a job at Target. Smh. She should be lucky anyone would even want to work at Target.

"they arent prepared for the fair" My parents are forcing me to go, I had one day to make a resume, and Im a highschool freshman. I am so sorry.

no point of doing the research of any of the companies when you have no dam idea who could've shown up unless you have to google the stuff on your phone before walking up to them also no point of handing in resume since everything is technology these days and your paper resume be thrown into the bin after a job fair

I...I don’t know what I expected at the job fair but it was certainly not this.

No shaking hands now because of Rona.

cringy

Thank you so much

😊

THE VIDEOS MADE WITH A LOT OF AFFECTION. BUT PEOPLE DO LOOK AT YOUR STATE innocence TO NOT GIVE YOU A SIMPLE JOB. JUST HIRE A CHRISTIAN AND TELL THEM HOW THE JOBS WORKS.BUZZ! ITS SOMETHING TEMPORARY AND BESIDES PEOPLE ALWAYS MOVE FROM STATES

I don’t have a fucking suit

The music in the background is totally unrelated to this content

Alge Alge Alge... Gönn mehr Sprachtipps

I know this video and comments are extremely old but did any of you learn anything about the importance of going to job fairs at school? Yes you can apply for basically any position online but then you're just another name on one of 1000 resumes they'll receive. The chances are high that the person you INTERACT with at a job fair will be closely related or directly involved in the hiring process and if you TALK to them and leave a positive impression they will immediately put your resume on the top, even if you aren't the most qualified applicant. The fact that you go and make an effort is what these companies look for and if you'd rather just "apply online" than go and talk to someone then you aren't ready for the job

Fuck job fair. Most companies come to job fair to hire 1 or 2 student

So clothe determine ur identity?

Ever get that feeling of impending doom?

Just google cookie-cutter interview responses, strip away any bit of individuality you have, and you have a good chance.

Y'all,,,,the job fair doesn't advertise what's there???

how can you research the company if job fair just list industries but do not list the company names

It's sad that there's no advice here specifically for older workers who are looking. And I'm surprised about the emphasis on a resume when you're pushing this towards college students who probably haven't had enough work experience to fill out a proper resume.

Ohhhh shyyt im fuked

the immature comments amaze me. Someone said they were going to job fair but they only had jeans. That speaks to the videos comment about a lack of preparation. Go to the thrift store. Ask a friend to borrow clothing. Quit making excuses for your own lack of preparation. Those who make fun of the Target employee, guess what it's a corporation with corporate jobs. You can make good money in a corporate environment IF you have a work ethic and smarts. If corporate isn't' for you, that's fine but don't bash it. A Job Fair tthat won't publish a day or two ahead of time who's attending probably isn't the kind you want to attend for career level jobs. But you can still prepare before interacting with the exhibitors. Show up early and check out who's there then go take your phone and do some quick searches before going back to interact. And yes, some of them won't interact more than superficially with you if you don't initiate a conversation that shows you're well prepared to interact. You have the power to drive the conversation. Sometimes they've been assigned at the last minute to fill in for someone, but you can still make a good impression. Ask them what their experience was , what brought them to the company, etc. Quit making dumb excuses!

I remember going to a few job fairs as a kid. I'm surprised I didn't get shot by employers let alone getting a job.

damn, there is a bunch of losers in the comment section

Right..I'm gonna wear a high dollar suit just to go talk with target who's wearing an apron

I went to a job fair today. Job fairs are not like this anymore. You go up to a booth, they just tell you about their company, give you some flyers, and tell you to apply online. No one even read my resume. It was completely pointless. Also I was the only one there wearing a dress shirt and dress pants. Everyone else was just wearing regular street clothes.

Lol , you should visit India sometime and see the attitude of HR

First impressions are important when you have a short ammount of interaction. if your only get one chance to present yourself to the employee then the importance of 1st impressions increases, but jobs fair can last a few more days, so give it another chance next time to the employee, and as a reminder you don't have to give your resume if you think your 1st impression was not enough, come back another day and try again.

What if you dont know what company that are there and what if you are homeless and dont have the "right" clothes

Hello. My name is Mai Cawk

This is funny lol. It's like a slave handbook.

2 words DONT GO!!!!!!!!! Total waste of time,effort and resources

The Target qua talking about dressing professionally and then the pan down to her feet in ugly sandles? Blahahahah.. That's a woman for ya! MGTOW!
