If you are planning on heading to the Southwest Michigan Job Fair at the Kalamazoo Expo Center today here are some tips to keep in mind!

  1. Bring more resumes than you think you will need! You might spill something on a few and wish you had extra. (That actually happened to me once, they don’t like resumes covered in Arby’s Sauce!)
  2. Dress to impress! This means from head to toe. Just because you put on a nice dress shirt doesn’t mean you shouldn’t shave your face or do your hair.
  3. Eye contact is important! If you are looking down or off to the side the employer will think you are really not interested. Oh and leave the sunglasses in the car. You’re not Jack Nicholson, you can’t pull it off.
  4. Have some questions to ask the employer! If they are going to put you on the spot with some questions, do the same! Just don’t ask them the same questions they are asking you. They don’t like that.
  5. Be sober. Sounds obvious but you would be surprised!

Hopefully these tips will help you out! Oh and please TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!!
