Wisdomjobs.com offers "wisdom" on maximizing career fair opportunities

WisdomJobs, online recruitment portal with 300 employees and presence in the US, Canada, South Africa, Singapore and Malaysia and Gulf, suggests to job seekers how to prepare for the career fairs to make the most of their experience.

Ajay Kolla, WisdomJobs CEO and founder, said, “Prepare number of copies of your CV, customized as per the employer requirement. Make sure that your CV is most relevant to company requirements." He also noted that add a cover letter with your resume that impresses the recruiters.

According to WisdomJobs, the Pragnya Meter is a skill assessment tool enables job seekers to skill-test themselves and showcases their scores to recruiters on their profile. This tool, and a custom search based on it, enables recruiters to access a skill-assessed database of nearly 14 million job seekers, thereby helping them to shortlist quality profiles in lesser time.

Additionally, WisdomJobs has proposed to organize job fairs and with an expected employment to 1 million youths in India across the locations and functional areas for different experience levels. Having skill tested profiles help you stand out among the equally talented applicants and impress the recruiters with your skill capabilities.

“Research and collect information about the career fair and also know the information about when it is going to start and where is the place, who will be there and why you want to attend. Know more information about the company values and mission statements and their corporate culture. Set your goals so that you can work to achieve more from the fair,” said Kolla.

The first impression is the the best impression in every career fair where every employer meets number of job seekers. Make sure that you have an attractive introduction that catches the eyes of employers to know more details about you. Another thing to prepare for are the most commonly asked job interview questions and answers to shortlist in the first phase of interview.

Kolla added, “To beat the competitive edge and to meet the needs of job seekers many companies are conducting virtual job fairs. Virtual fairs provide an opportunity to attend from your home/office that brings jobseekers and employers at online recruitment platform. Some virtual job fairs are accessible 24/7 to attend job fairs and apply for the most suitable jobs.”
