I just wanted to give you a heads up if you live in Oklahoma. There is to be March Job Fair held in Oklahoma City, by Employment Services.
Location: Oklahoma City Community College
College Union Dining Area
When: Wednesday March 2, 2011
Times: General Employment opportunities from 10AM to 2PM
Health Care Professions from 12PM to 6PM
for additional information you can call 405-682-7519
or email: employmentservices@occc.edu
Local job fairs are an excellent opportunity for you to get out and mingle with other applicants and get a feel for your competition and also to visit with prospective employers to learn what is out there. The employers will let you know what types of positions they are looking to fill and the approximate salary ranges for those positions.
It is important that you stay current on what is being offered and how much companies are willing to pay for your expertise. In today's job market, it is not unusual to see salaries less than what you might anticipate them being.
Be sure to go to a job fair dressed as if you were at a regular interview. This is not the time to be wearing that faded tee shirt and your holey jeans! Be sure that your personal grooming and your attire speaks well of you and that you indeed are seriously looking for work.
Get a briefcase or a nice portfolio case in which to put plenty of your resumes. Put together several different types of resumes, targeting your various skills, to fit into the many varieties of positions that you can qualify for. Not one type of resume will fill the bill!
If you do not live in Oklahoma, or want to live here, check your local area for upcoming events. They are often held at various colleges and sponsored by your state's employment services division.
Happy job hunting!
