suggests that soft skills matter as much, if not more than, your technical background and job history. If you worked in hospitality or retail, emphasize the soft skills you gained during this time. Don’t limit your experience to paid jobs. If you had internships, were a member of a volunteer organization or extracurricular use these to outline the skills you gained that translate into the job you are seeking.

Think about how you want to portray yourself in person, and online. Remember: people who find your profiles on social don’t know you personally. This is all they have to go off of. Bring copies of your resume in a portfolio and pen and paper to jot down notes between recruiter conversations. Ditch the backpack, and your friends, at the dorm. It might feel safer to walk the event with friends, but recruiters would prefer to have one-on-one conversations with leads and this will make you more memorable.

After the event completes, set time aside the next day to reach out and thank all the companies that you spoke with. Send them an email highlighting your key takeaways and steps for the future. Know that it’s all about knowing the name and email of the recruiter you meet. Yes, hand them your resume, but also know...Even if they don’t have the job of your dreams available right now, still follow up, you never know what will become available in the future.
