What to do before the event

• Get your resume ready!
• View the list of exhibitors in advance.
• Research the companies you are interested in and the positions they are hiring for.
• Prepare intelligent, informed questions in advance for those employers that interest you. This will allow you to present yourself as well informed and will capture the employer’s attention.
• Consider creating a LinkedIn account.

What to wear

• Arrive neatly dressed, and appear well groomed and professional at all times while at the event. 
• Avoid perfume/cologne and use mints instead of gum.

What to bring

• Pen and notepad
• Resumes
• Portfolio or clipboard—to store the information and business cards you will pick up

Initiating contact

• Know what it is that you are looking to find out about the organization, and prepare a few questions in advance.
• Try introducing yourself by saying your name and what your major is.
• Remember to smile and maintain good eye contact. Demonstrating a positive attitude and being engaged are very important!

Additional tips

• Attend the event alone—you will be more focused on your job search and make a stronger impression with potential employers.
• Stay long enough to have your questions answered and your interest recognized, but never monopolize an exhibitor's time. 
• Show interest in the company, not just its promotional items.
• Focus on what you can bring to the organization, not what the organization can do for you.
• Be relaxed and have fun!

Tips from past attendees

"In a very positive way. As a newcomer I was overwhelmed. But on career day I met lot of people and see through lots of career opportunities might suits me." - Public Health Graduate Student

"Participating in Careers Day at PAC had a positive impact on me because it allowed me to connect with more companies than I initially expected. It helped me broaden my awareness of potential career opportunities, expand my professional network, and better understand which organizations align with my career goals. There were a ton of companies that are related to my major, which is business, and I am really thankful for that." - 2nd year Edwards School of Business student

"Participating in Careers Day clarified the range of roles open to sustainability students in Saskatchewan. I made useful employer contacts, received resume feedback, and learned which skills (GIS, project management, stakeholder engagement) are most valued. I left with concrete leads and more confidence." - Regenerative Sustainability Graduate Student

"I was pleased to talk with a variety of different employers to see what jobs would be available after graduation. When you are working towards your degree it is easy to have tunnel vision and expect only one option at the end of the line but it was comforting to know that the education we have will open a lot of doors to jobs we didn't even know existed." - College of Nursing Student
