Here are some tips to help make your Education Career Fair experience a success!

Take a warm-up lap. Walk through the fair to identify the locations of schools and organizations you are interested in and observe the interaction between the recruiters and the candidates.

Determine which schools and organizations you want to visit and rank order them by priority.

Practice with low priority schools or organizations first to calm your nerves.

Research any schools or organizations that you are unfamiliar with on your phone. Be prepared if they ask you “What do you know about our school?”.

Listen to those in line ahead of you to learn what the recruiter is looking for, to learn more about the organization and what types of questions they may ask.

Pick-up any available school or organizational information and read it.

Greet the recruiter with a smile, clear voice, good handshake and your brief introduction. Review the following page to learn how to create an elevator speech. Have your resume ready to give to the recruiter.

Ask questions that demonstrate your preparation and insight.

Be mindful of the recruiter’s (and others in line) time… no more than 3-4 minutes.

Broaden your focus and include many employers. If the school or organization is looking for candidates in an area different from yours, ask if they anticipate future openings that are related to your area. Better yet, ask if they can refer you to a contact person in your area of interest.

Try to find out what follow-up procedures/next steps are necessary to further discuss job opportunities. Ask for the recruiter’s business card.

SMILE and express your appreciation for the recruiter’s time!

FOLLOW-UP with a well written thank you letter or email to the recruiter reiterating your interest in their school or organization within a day or two. Attach your resume for reference.

The Elevator Speech

What is an Elevator Speech?

The Elevator Speech is a 30 - 60 second marketing pitch that lets those whom you meet know where you have been and where you are hoping to go in the future.

How do I create an Elevator Speech? To create your own Elevator Speech, ask yourself:

Who am I?

What do I have to offer?

What are my strongest skills and abilities or what have I done related to the field?

What positions am I interested in?

Why am I interested in this organization or career field?

“Hello, my name is Megan Little. I am graduating this May from BSU with a license in special education for moderate disabilities. I’m really interested in working at the middle school level in an inclusive classroom and would love to discuss how my teaching experience and past work with the Special Olympics could benefit your district.”

“Hi, my name is Luiz Cataldo. I am a junior here, majoring in elementary education and math. I am still a year away from graduating with my degree and teaching license, but I’d love to learn more about how I can get connected to your district now through substitute teaching. I have some great after school tutoring experience that I think could be really helpful to your schools.”
