Other Upcoming Job Fairs

I found a listing for some upcoming job fairs in this morning's Charlotte Observer as well as another I found online myself that I will attend next month (and possibly a couple others as well). Here are the listings and as much information as you should need to plan accordingly. I would highly recommend checking out the websites before going to see what potential employers are listed to appear and if possible, research them and what you may look to do with their company. It is contended that you have about 30 seconds to sell yourself so do it wisely and don't just walk up and ask, "Are you hiring?", let them know what type of position you are looking for. Make sure you also take several copies of your resumes and only stop at tables of companies you would work for, they say recruiters think if they see you do this, you are lost and not as serious about their company. Also one other point, dress for success as there will be hundreds around you in suits. They say this shows motivation and makes you look polished. Those are just a few tips brought to you by your friends at the Charlotte Observer.
