After the CVC Job Fair (and a snow cancellation of the Shepherd Job Fair, the day finally came when I could explore some more potential careers. However, to be honest, the Shepherd Job Fair was rather disappointing. Not many worth while employers were present and the ones that I was interested in did not show up. Probably because of the snow date. I was able to send in some resumes to those that did not show. Moving on, since the Shepherd University Job Fair experience will be similar to the CVC job fair, I would like to share some techniques I've learned about proper etiquette at job fairs.
Dress to Impress
The dress attire should include a shirt and tie with dress pants. I've been told that the best color to wear is a dark blue. It is considered more professional. Also, women should not wear revealing clothing.
Watch the Odor
When traveling to the CVC Job Fair, I traveled with a friend who smoked. He happened to need to smoke in the car on the way to the fair. Not thinking, I entered the CVC Job Fair and the first thing the woman said at the front desk was "smells like you boys have been smoking". Embarrassing. Although we did get freshened up, it is very important that employers do not smell any smoke odor on you. Also, any perfume or cologne use should be very mild and not too strong if any is used.
