When you meet a recruiter, be friendly, confident, and assertive. Give a firm handshake while introducing yourself.
-
Practice a 45-60 second personal advertisement to communicate your strengths and goals. Speak clearly and make eye contact.
-
The Job Fair is setup like an open house trade show. You may walk through and speak with the recruiters you choose.

Ask for business cards when you speak with recruiters. Send personal thank you notes via email after the event, and make follow-up calls to schedule an interview.
Who can attend the Professional Diversity Job Fair?
You need only have a 4-year degree or better to attend. All our events are diverse and multicultural which means they are open to all. Employers are interested in your background and experience. By participating, employers are extending their welcome to candidates from all types of backgrounds. Most will require US Citizenship.
How is the Job Fair set up?
The PSI Job Fair is an “open house” trade show environment. Each employer recruits from its own 8’ X 10’ booth space. As an “open house’ you can attend any time during the published hours and talk with only the employers you choose.
Don't keep this to yourself! Feel free to bring a friend!
