The Career Fair Mistake That Has Nothing to Do With Your Resume
Hey community! ๐
As we talk about navigating career development and student success, I want to address a massive blind spot I see all the time.
Students will spend weeks tweaking their resumes down to the millimeter, but completely bomb the actual table visit because they donโt know what to say.
Remember this rule: The resume gets you remembered AFTER the fact. The conversation determines whether anyone wants to remember you at all.
If you are just walking up to a table and reciting your resume out loud, you are losing the recruiter in the first 30 seconds. They can read. They don't need an audiobook version of your background.
Action Item for Your Students (or Yourself): Next time you step up to a table, pitch your value, not just your history. And right before you leave, drop this question:
"What does success actually look like in the first 90 days for someone in this position?"
It completely flips the script and makes you incredibly memorable.
Letโs discuss below: Whatโs the biggest challenge you see students face when it comes to face-to-face networking? Drop your thoughts below! ๐
