Kokomo Area Career Fair

April 14, 2022 | 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo | Hingst Hall

Here a some "tips for success" when attending the career fair:

• Update your resume and bring copies. We suggest 10-12! 
• Prepare an elevator speech that is concise. Include reasons why you are interested in the company and how you might add value. Practice in front of family and friends for feedback!
• “Dress to impress.” This includes dress pants, skirts, button-down long sleeve shirts, and clean shoes. It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.
• Research attending employers and companies.
• Prepare questions to ask employers. Examples include:
  • What specific positions are you looking to hire? 
  • What do you look for in a team member?
  • Can you describe your company culture?
  • What do you like most about your job?
  • Can you talk more about the hiring process?
• Stay positive. Talking to so many employers can be overwhelming. Use this this as an opportunity to learn more about landing your ideal career. 
• Collect business cards and follow up with a thank-you card or email thanking employers for their time.
