Hahn said a job fair like this is valuable.
“It’s huge because they can talk to all of the employers at the same time and learn about the position. There’s usually a human resource or hiring manager that are here, and so most of the time, applicants have to apply online, but at a hiring event, you are actually getting to talk to the employer,” she said.
For the job fair, you are encouraged to bring resumes, be prepared to meet employers and be interviewed.
“When they come here, just dress appropriately to meet somebody that is doing the hiring. Be ready to talk to the employer. All they need to do is smile, walk around and talk to them,” Hahn said.
