Career fairs are a great place to network. But many job seekers have unrealistic expectations - and prepare badly. Devex asked several recruiters how to stand out from the crowd.
The last recruiter, Bryan Morgan, seems like an absolute treasure. Instead of listing all the good and bad things one could do, he just gets to the core of the issue. Assuming he’s since moved on, AECOM was very lucky to have him!
Present very very quickly in a couple of sentences, who I am, where I'm coming from, what I've done, what I'm looking for. Do not expect anything more than that. Ask what is it that I need to do in order to get my name noticed or my experiences noticed? Research the site very, very clearly and understand what it is each of the companies do.
