Onsite interviews-When you fill out a job application online, it may take days, weeks or even a month or two to get a response or an interview. At job fairs you get multiple interviews right on the spot. All you have to do is dress the part and bring your resume.
Interview practice– At a job fair you talk to many different representatives. You are going to get a response from each one of those representatives. At that point, you may learn what you need to work on when you go on interviews in the future. You get to practice your handshake, self introduction and your overall song and dance.
Networking-A lot of people don’t realize it, but attending a job fair can really open a job seekers eyes. They may find out about a company that they never heard of, they may find that they have interests in things that they didn’t go to school for or they may realize, “I need to go back to school.” Whatever the case may be, networking and meeting new people is always a positive.
