Looking for work, your first job, or experience in your field of study?
Every week, our Get Hired post is brought to you by the Career, Community and Experiential Learning Centre. Get Hired shares new postings and events to help you find opportunities that match your goals and schedule.
Prepare Your Introduction for the Career Fair
A clear, confident introduction can make career fairs feel less overwhelming. Before you go, prepare a short introduction that includes your name, program, year of study, and what you are interested in exploring. Practice saying it at a steady volume so you sound confident and engaged. This helps you make a strong first impression, start conversations with ease, and show employers that you are prepared and focused. If you are not sure what to say, even a simple outline can help you get started.
