6 Tips to prepare yourself for the Virtual Career Fair.
1. Pre-register for the career fair and set a calendar reminder.
2. Research on prospective employers and make a list of which employers you would like to meet. Understand and have basic knowledge of the companies you’re interested in and know the products and services they offer.
3. Have an elevator pitch prepared in advance. Be your best advocate and share a quick summary of your skills and experience. Career fairs can be fast-paced, so keep your pitch succinct.
4. Make a list of interview questions and have your answers ready. This is also a good time to ask some of the questions you may have about the company.
5. Have your resume and portfolio ready on hand. A website is an easy way to showcase the work you have done and can be easily accessed by potential employers at a virtual career fair.
6. Follow up with the company by sending a short thank you email. Express your appreciation and provide any additional information that would be useful.
This career fair is open to all MDIS students, graduates & alumni, Hostel residents, MDIS Malaysia & MDIS Tashkent. Pre-register here today: https://bit.ly/3mpju32
