| • |
Use displays
that are visually and graphically attractive, have pictures
of the work setting, and feature engaging information
about job duties, salary, etc.
|
| • |
Step out
from behind your table to be more approachable to students
and attract candidates.
|
| • |
Have plenty
of business cards to pass out to students.
|
| • |
Bring detailed
job descriptions. Be prepared for students who are majoring
in areas that do not match what you have to offer. Provide
some advice to those students (i.e. a human resources
contact in the company or someone the student can connect
with).
|
| • |
Bring past
or current interns and/or other representatives from your
company to assist you with recruiting efforts.
|
| • |
Bring small
promotional items so that students have a reminder of
your company after the expo.
|
| • |
A note to
co-op employers: some of the students you will meet will
be specifically seeking co-op opportunities; many will
be unfamiliar with the concept until they talk with you.
Please encourage all students to work through the CFAES
Career Services Center office at Ohio State.
|
| • |
Recruit
for high quality, substantial positions so that students
have a good experience with your company. Students talk
about their intern/co-op experiences with other students,
so word-of-mouth goes a long way in what students learn
about your opportunities.
|
| • |
Plan to
stay until the end of the job fair to ensure that you
do not miss good candidates who may come at the end of
the event. Keep in mind that students will fit this career
expo around their class schedules; a student who arrives
during the last hour isn't necessarily late. He or she
may have simply come after class. |
