Be prepared before attending a job fair. Purpose: clear goals, targeted, effective use of meeting time

First, prepare for the goal: graduates who are about to enter the society must determine their career direction in advance, that is, analyze themselves, what they like to do, what they can do, how much work ability they have, what specialties they have, and determine the position that suits them best Then prepare the information: design a job resume for yourself, so that people can understand in 30 seconds, impressive, clear and more appropriate. More effective job resumes are: condensing one's natural conditions, academic qualifications, training (work) experience, obtained professional certificates, professional expertise, rewards obtained, job application intentions, and contact information on a single A4 page. Require truth-seeking facts, language refinement, and clear themes. Some graduates spend color pages, multiple pages, exquisite bindings, and high-cost job resumes designed by their minds, which are not suitable for use at job fairs and can be used during interviews; then prepare psychologically: establish firm self-confidence and brave Go to society and prepare for setbacks. This job fair may be fruitful or nothing, but you are not afraid to fail.

The purpose of attending the job fair: grasp the position information dynamics, sell yourself, win interviews

The effective recruitment time in the talent market is generally in the morning, so the admission time should be earlier, you can have enough time to collect information and understand the job market. In the job fair, there must be a process of viewing, listening, asking, handing over, and memorizing.

Viewing: Browse through the horse and watch flowers first, then lock down several goals according to your own job intent, and determine the primary and secondary;

Listen : Before the target booth is locked, as a bystander, listen to the introduction of the employer, listen to the inquiries from the applicant to the employer, and taste the reputation of the employer;

Question : Choose the unit you are most interested in and talk to them first. Ask questions. Inquiry about the nature of the employer's ownership, employment form, enterprise development, personnel structure of the job position, job responsibility, training status and other relevant information. As for salaries, benefits, etc., after the interview, you can only ask when the company has a clear positioning for you;

Submit: When deciding to apply, submit your resume with both hands, expressing sincerity to apply for this position;

Note : Record the company name, position, address, contact information, contact person, how to get the interview notice (time, place), etc. Avoid forgetting afterwards, even if you handed in several resumes to anyone, you can't recall it.

To participate in the job fair, you should bring multiple designed job resumes, multiple copies of ID cards, graduation certificates, degree certificates, and award certificates, to be assessed on the spot by the standby unit; pens, notepads, etc. should be prepared; dressed appropriately Be elegant and generous; talk and behave: maintain a good mental state, be polite, and talk naturally; defend rights and prevent fraud: do not mortgage various documents to the employer, pay any fees, etc. Contraindications: When accompanied by parents, you will miss the opportunity if you have no idea.

After the job fair, you should call the employer that submitted your resume in a timely manner to understand the results of your job application. Don't be discouraged if you don't have an interview. Sum up experience, collect employment information, and wait for opportunities to fight again.

Time and venue arrangements

The employer plans the recruitment time, and after confirming with the employment office, the recruitment date is determined.

Publication and promotion of job fair information

Online information release: Polytechnic Employment Network and China University Employment Alliance simultaneously publish the information of the special job fair; On-site information release: For the recruitment unit that pays the fee, it is preferentially posted on the two LED campus display screens of the Polytechnic to ensure the display on the day of the job fair Information about the recruitment unit; posting and hanging of posters and banners at fixed locations.

Provide specialized early services for employers

Further telephone communication to confirm whether it is necessary to book accommodation hotels and ticket booking services in advance, whether it is necessary to make promotional banners in advance and hang them on campus, whether it is necessary to pick up and drop off stations, whether to post company promotional posters and so on.

Preliminary preparations for the job fair

Each job fair will assign a dedicated contact person to be responsible for on-site coordination and command and the deployment of manpower and materials. In principle, the recruitment venue must be opened one hour in advance.

Although many graduates no longer associate the nature of a business with their career choices, it is beneficial to understand the nature of a business. Enterprises can be divided into large areas: scientific research units, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, joint ventures, etc. Research institutes and state-owned enterprises have relatively complete benefits, but the salary level is slightly lower; private enterprises and joint ventures have higher salary levels, but benefits may be incomplete. After knowing the nature of the enterprise, you can ask the treatment questions in a targeted manner. For private enterprises and joint ventures, it is also necessary to ask whether there are indicators for acceptance of fresh graduates (ie, whether they can solve the problem of household registration and records).

First, fully understand the enterprise in advance. Job seekers are better informed about the industry, industry development, enterprise size, products, etc. of the company in advance, focusing on the recruitment positions at this job fair, selecting suitable job candidates based on their own conditions, and entering seats on the right, do not go to the scene "

First, invest in fame

This type of delivery person often only looks at the company's reputation. No matter what position or requirements the other party recruits, as long as it is a big-name company or favorite company, no matter what position, submit a resume. Such a blind delivery regardless of whether their conditions are met, such resume delivery will only be futile.

Second, invest without goals

Most of these people are "hai voters", they just read the recruitment notices in a cursory way, or look at the posts roughly, and then start to spread the net in a large area. Even after the delivery, they did not know which companies they had delivered. Generally speaking, such resumes are almost zero-targeted, and they are completely in a state of luck. The more rash and fluke it is, the harder your resume gets into HR.

Invest for work

These job seekers usually want to get a job as soon as possible. They don't know the company's situation or the specific duties and requirements of the position, so they rush to apply. Especially graduates, they usually lack experience, don't know much about the job setting of the enterprise, etc., and they are often negligent in studying job descriptions, so the possibility of returning empty-handed is naturally greater.

Therefore, in order to avoid zero responses to resumes, it is recommended that job seekers, especially online delivery, must learn to use tools such as job finder to filter and screen out their target industries and target positions. Before submitting your resume, pay special attention to the validity period of the job information and filter out the invalid information. At the same time, the delivery must be made in the way required by the enterprise, such as the other party's request to send photos, or a uniform template to be filled out. In short, from the production of the resume to the final delivery, it must be in accordance with the requirements of the company, so that it can enter the screening process more smoothly.

How to identify scammers

1. Directly search and inquire online. If it is a black company, most of the online job applicants have complaints.

2. The company that collects money is a liar!

3. Mass advertisements for recruitment and urgent employment, with clear salaries and amazing benefits, are basically scammers!

4. It is better not to apply for a company that recruits all the year round, that is advertising.

5. The company is not big, the office building, salary is not good, and the company name is so scary that most of them are "liar companies".

6. The company name is not clearly written on the recruitment poster, most of them are insurance companies, and some may be scammers.

Matters needing attention : You must be clear about your own conditions. Print out your resume in advance, and express your work experience and job application intentions clearly. Look for positions that have relatively low or no clear experience requirements, because experience is a gap or weakness in college students, high-position high-demand positions, and graduate avoidance is an obvious way.

Note two : ensure a good mental outlook. You should be energetic, confident, and confident that you have the skills you need to do the job. However, it is also necessary to set out a job that is suitable and competent for you according to your actual situation.

Note three : Don't start running around the recruitment booths as soon as you arrive at the job fair, leave a pile of job application materials, and then turn around and leave. It is best to go to the booth of the recruiting unit, look at the recruitment introduction materials, talk to the recruiter sincerely, ask some decent questions, and briefly introduce yourself. When the recruiter shows a certain interest, you can leave your resume in a timely manner.

Note 4 : Don't overemphasize compensation during the on-site job fair interview. The on-site job fair interview is the first contact between the employer and the candidate, and they are still in the trial stage. It is wrong to actively ask for the specific amount of compensation. In fact, everyone knows the market price of a certain position. As long as you give full play to your own advantages, the reward you get is likely to exceed the average.

Note five : During the interview, you must show your understanding and love of the applicant unit and business. In life, it is often said that love is the best teacher and the best self-referral letter. During the interview, your love and mastery of the business will infect the interviewer and let him make choices that are beneficial to you. When we interview, we need to give the interviewer a focus on this interview. I respect your achievements.
