If you get sweaty palms just thinking about approaching a recruiter at a career fair, don’t worry—you’re not alone! You can calm those nerves with one simple technique: by planning and practicing what you’re going to say.
Before you attend the Career Center’s Spring Mega Job & Internship Fair, take some time to create and practice your 30-Second Commercial, a brief speech about your best qualities, experiences, and skills, and what makes you a good fit for the recruiter’s company. Remember, you will only get a few minutes to make a great impression!
Stop by the Career Center (7800 York Rd., Suite 206) between 1 and 3 p.m. to practice your 30-second commercial, or for a quick resume review.Details about the fair:
