Whether you call them job fairs, career expos, or hiring events...they're all the same. And they are a good opportunity to meet with a lot of companies who are are hiring...and to do so in a concentrated period of time.

Usually free for job applicants, job fairs are held in a convention center, hotel ballroom or other large facility. You'll find large cities hosting several job fairs per year.

Some Job Fair tips:

Check the companies who will be represented at the job fair and select one that has companies looking for people with your skills.

Take copies of your updated resume with you.

Dress as for a job interview; you'll be meeting with company hiring representatives!

Even if you are not in the market to change jobs in the immediate future, some career development experts advise attending a job fair occasionally. This will give you the opportunity to practice interviewing without any pressure and will keep you current with opportunities in your field.

What is a cover letter? Whenever a resume is sent by mail, a cover letter must accompany it. The cover letter is your opportunity to make an immediate good impression of yourself, much as you would if you walked into the room for an interview nicely dressed, confident, and poised. It is a chance to set yourself apart from the other applicants -- it's your first opportunity to sell yourself.
