Heading to the Whitsundays Jobs Fair? It’s a great chance to meet employers face-to-face, learn about local opportunities, and maybe even land your next job. A little preparation goes a long way to help you stand out.
Start by checking out which employers will be there. Do a quick bit of research so you know what each company does and what kind of roles they might be offering. That way, you can ask the right questions and show genuine interest.
Bring a few copies of your resume, and make sure it’s up to date. Keep it short and clear by highlighting your best experience, skills, achievements, and your contact details.
Dress neatly and professionally. You don’t need to go overboard, but looking clean, tidy, and confident helps make a great first impression.
Think ahead about what you’ll say. Prepare a short introduction that includes your name, background, and what kind of work you’re seeking. Confidence and clarity go a long way.
And don’t forget to ask questions. You might ask things like:
- What kind of roles are you hiring for right now?
- Do you offer training or apprenticeships?
- What’s the best way to apply?
A jobs fair is your chance to connect, learn, and show employers what you’ve got.
Come prepared, stay positive, and make every conversation count.
