Attending the Utah Valley Job Fair in person presents a valuable and unparalleled opportunity for job seekers for several compelling reasons: Networking Opportunities: In-person events allow job seekers to directly engage with HR personnel, recruiters, and representatives from various companies.

The event provides a comprehensive overview of the job market, allowing attendees to discover potential paths they might not have considered. Access to Top Employers: The Utah Valley Job Fair attracts over 100 employers actively seeking to hire dedicated individuals. This presents a unique chance for job seekers to connect with leading companies, understand their values, and learn about available positions, creating a direct pathway to potential employment. Invaluable Face-to-Face Interactions: Meeting employers in person allows job seekers to showcase not only their qualifications but also their interpersonal skills and personality. These personal interactions can set candidates apart from others and contribute to a more holistic evaluation by employers. Real-time Information and Insights: Attending the Job Fair in person provides job seekers with real-time information about companies, industries, and current job market trends. This immediate access to insights can be invaluable in making informed decisions about career paths and potential employers.

Job Fairs - Is It Worth Attending? I went to a 'PROFESSIONAL' job fair recently only to find that the business HAD NO INTENTION hiring folks. The 'representative' had no business cards, no online presence, and no 'power' for hiring influence. What a waste of time. However, I am an optimistic person - please convince me that I am wrong - that job fairs are legit. In the meantime: --- Forty-percent of companies said they have posted a fake job listing this year, according to a survey in May of 650 hiring managers from career site Resume Builder. Three in 10 companies currently have fake listings on their sites or on job boards, according to the survey. --- Hiring managers told their companies' human resources departments, senior managers and executives and, in a few cases, investors or consultants have come up with the fake job schemes. Of the companies that engaged in the practice, 45% posted between one to five fake job listings; 19% posted 10; 11% posted 50; 10% posted 25; and 13% posted 75 or more. The roles spanned all levels of seniority, from entry level openings to executive-tier jobs.

 Preparing for a Job Fair.   Job Fairs are a great place to connect with the business for employment opportunities. Many local businesses will attend to recruit for a variety of positions. Before attending a career or job fair, get a list of employers attending, research the companies of what they do and what kind of positions they are recruiting, choose the companies you are interested in, and then map out your route. Dress like you are attending an interview and wear comfortable shoes as you may be waiting in line and doing a considerable amount of walking. Bring copies of your resume or business cards with you. Prepare questions you want to ask the people representing the company such as why do you like working here, what is the leadership style, what are the working conditions onsite, remote or hybrid, what positions are available, what skills and experience are your looking for, what is your ideal applicant and how do I apply?  Ask the HR staff to review your resume for feedback. Get a business card so that you can connect with the person after the job or career fair for follow-up.  Make sure you pick up any promotional information from the company as it will help address why you want to work for the company and what you know about the company. Also, be considerate of the time you are talking to the staff at the booths, keep your conversations short,and make a lasting positive impression.

It's still #WorkforceWednesday so I want to talk about perfecting business services. One strategy in perfecting any process is to be specific, and I want to know how everyone defines the difference between a #JobFair and #HiringEvent. At Employ Prince George's, job fairs are large-scale events with 10 or more businesses, with a ratio of quadruple the amount of job seekers versus employers. Opposite of job fairs are customized recruitment events that have less than 5 employers with a targeted amount of recruited job seekers. Do you use this as your definition? How do you maximize the outcomes of your job fairs or hiring events? Is there a third type of event? #WorkforceWednesday #WorkforceWire #HiringEvents #JobFairs #BusinessServices #WIOA #AmericanJobCenter
