How to prepare for the career fair
Job seekers should consider arriving prepared to speak directly with employers.
Bring several printed copies of your resume if possible. Keep the document clear and focused on relevant experience.
Construction workers should also consider bringing information about licenses, certifications or specialized training they have completed.
For example, this may include OSHA training, trade certifications or equipment experience.
Wear clean, professional clothing that still fits the type of work you are seeking.
You should also prepare a short introduction about your experience.
A simple introduction might include your trade, years of experience, certifications and current availability.
Do not assume every employer will conduct an interview immediately. Treat each conversation as an opportunity to make a professional connection.
Why career fairs can help NYC job seekers
Online applications are useful, but career fairs offer something different.
They can give candidates the opportunity to speak directly with employers and learn what companies are currently looking for.
This can be especially valuable in construction, where experience, certifications and availability can matter as much as a traditional resume.
Even if a specific position is not the right fit, meeting employers can help job seekers understand what skills are in demand.
