How ready should you be when it comes to attending a Career Fair?
There are Useful Tips on CareerTour’s website for students to get themselves ready before attending CareerTour.
a) How to choose a career?
Get the right job by knowing what your interest is when what you are good at.
Do know your right career for yourself , this is because there is needless to be so call " cincai " or temporarily thinking as for NO WASTING TIME for your career . At the same time , do not be panic , all you have to do is to make a DECISION . Why not getting a job that satisfies you which you can happily love your job rather than for the sake of having job , but at the same time it does also important that you have INTEREST in your job .
Know what motivates you! – Most jobs require you to be self motivated and hardworking, so know what drives you to work hard, will it be money? job environment? challenges? or maybe something you’re passionate about.
It is important for you to answer these questions before choosing “the right job”:
- Which company or organization would you like to work with?
- How far are you willing to travel for that job?
- What type of work/tasks you are looking for?
- What kind of job will make you feel delighted (more than just satisfying)?
b) Research on companies.
c) How to write quality resumes?
Prepare a few copies of resumes, write only relevant information of the companies you are applying for. Different companies seek for different type of candidates, so adjust your resume to “fit” the company’s expectations.
Knowing yourself the best , your resume should be straightforward and at the same time informative about you . Always put your achievements and priorities first before writing the less important / irrelevant informations into your resume .Your resume should include achievements, qualification and previous work or training experience that is relevant to the job that you are applying for. Always prioritise events that happened most recent, then followed by the earliest.
The resume should also include your personal details such as name, address, phone number, and your e-mail address. Include two references from your recent employer if you have any.
Always have this question in mind: “How can you stand out from the other competitors?”
d) How to write cover letter?
Keep your cover letter simple. Let your recruiter knows that how you can help on the growth of his company.As I mentioned , KEEP IT SIMPLE ! =) Cover letter can help you stand out among other applicants !A different cover letter should be written to different companies accordingly. It is definitely not a one-size-fits-all document that you should send to companies. Do an in-depth research on the company to know their expectations and what they are looking for.This may sound like writing a resume, but please take note that this is NOT a resume. The cover letter will be viewed first before the resume, so you should use this opportunity to “catch” recruiters’ attention. Deliver the right message, showing them your personality, curiosity and interest in the job you are applying for.Keep it simple - Utilize headings and bold prints to highlight the message you wish to deliver.End your cover letter with style – Tell the recruiter what can you do for the company and how you can help on the growth of the company.
e) Dress to impress.
Here’s a list of Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to dressing up for job fairs and interviews.
http://www.careertour.com.my/useful-tips/dress-up-professionally/
*reminder : you are going to give a GOOD impression to the company and not a FASHION SHOW ! :)
Eg:
Pick the safest color for your suit! – Charcoal grey and navy blue is the safest color for suits because it is appropriate for all field of employment as these colors always represent a neutral and professional look. (Ladies, you can put on a skirt but not make sure the length is slightly over the knee).
Wear light colors for your shirt! – White and light blue will be the best color to match the dark color of your suit. Do not choose a shirt that has lots of patterns on. Less is more! A simple white shirt will be your best choice. (Psst! Do you know that white color represents respect?).Gentleman, remember to always put on a necktie – Choose a conservative design that matches with your suit. It would be best if its a dark color necktie that is made out of silk.
Tidy up your hair! – You want to look professional and classy. Lads, you should probably gel your hair, but not too much, you don’t want your hair to look wet and oily. Ladies, comb your hair, or tie a pony tail, don’t leave it flying all over the place.
Dark shoes, belt and socks! – You want your shoes, belt and socks to match your suit, so put on dark leather shoes gentlemen, and conservative heels for ladies.
Wear a nice black belt that is easy to match. Gentlemen should put on clean socks!
Do put on a watch to give the impression that you practice good time management.
g) Prepare a list of questions often asked in interviews:
http://www.careertour.com.my/useful-tips/interviews/
I went to interview myself before , well yes should be excited and the same time nervous but I'm a quite talkative person , I do ask questions during my interview with the company because you must always remember that the company DO NOT HARM YOU . So , be RELAX and feel free of yourself to speak out .
h) Follow ups with recruiters.
