A career fair
A career fair is a gathering place for students and businesses to share ideas and information about
job openings. Some businesses attend job fairs to aggressively recruit, while others attend to
discover what talents and views geography students may bring to their organizations, as well as to
keep connected with and "give back" to departments and organizations.
Should show that they are interested in recruiting geography graduates from the schools from which
they graduated. Participating
Students may learn about a variety of career options, network with potential employers, and put
their professional abilities to the test.

oTo strengthen links with alumni by including them in departmental activities and events. To
increase employer knowledge of the various and important talents that geography majors

Strategies for success
It's critical to get student buy-in! Students will not come if they do not feel the event is
worthwhile. Through in-class surveys or conversations, posting the subject on social media
groups, or organizing a student focus group, ask students which employers might spark their
interest.
Prioritize quality over quantity. The quantity of businesses and students who attend a
"successful" career fair is less important than how effectively it satisfies the needs and
expectations of those students and employers who do come.
To avoid last-minute problems, plan beforehand. As early as feasible in the planning phase,
consider the following:
When and where will the event be held? How far in advance should the venue be
booked?
What amount of space will you require to handle the anticipated number of
exhibitors and attendees?

Is there enough parking for the estimated number of employers?
What are the ideal dates, days, and hours for students and employers?
Will there be refreshments?
Will employers be charged a price if they want to participate? If that is not the case,
how will the event be funded?
Will employers be charged a price if they want to participate? If that is not the case,
how will the event be funded?
What supplies will the department supply (e.g., tables, chairs, basic signs, power
connections) and what would employers need to provide or arrange for?
For recordkeeping, future contact, or follow-up, how will you monitor participating
students and employers?
Take notes on what you've learned. Create a simple assessment form to provide out
to both employers and students. Their
Feedback and ideas might help you improve your career fairs in the future.
Assembling your first list of employer contacts
The organizations that presently employ your graduates are the simplest to recruit.
Invite your alumni to attend or request that they direct you to another relevant person
within their organization.
If your department doesn't already have an alumni contact list, now is the time to get
started! Collaborate with your campus's alumni offices and groups to gather information
about your department's graduates. Use social media to find and contact alumni, such as
Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Request a list of local companies who have employed
geography students from your school's career services office.
To cover a wide range of student interests and prospective future pathways, look for a
varied mix of companies from the corporate, government, charity, and education
sectors.
Consider enlisting the help of graduate assistants, student workers, geography club
members, or departmental interns to compile contact lists and reach out to potential
attendees, both to give chances for professional development and to boost student
interest in the employment fair.
Preparing students for the event
Assist students in making a positive first impression! Instruct them on how to prepare
for a job fair by directing them to resources or courses. If employers are impressed with
how your students show themselves, they are more likely to become repeat
participants.
Request a presentation, workshop, or Q&A session for your department's students from
your campus's career services office. The careers staff may provide guidance on proper
dress, items to bring, how to research employers, what questions to ask, how to build a
30-second "elevator pitch," and a variety of other topics.
