Parking at the Fall Job Fair

There is limited parking on-site for the Fall Job Fair. We strongly encourage customers to use:

• On-street meter parking
• Joseph Downes Parking Garage, 75 John Street, Lowell, MA 01852

Research the companies and positions. In some cases, you'll have very little to go by, but if you know the companies who will be present, go to their websites and learn about them. We know that you can't research each company in great detail, so focus on the ones of most interest. You might not know the positions that will be available. Here's where you can utilize the companies' websites to see the positions they're offering. 

Dress for success. With this said, the first way to make yourself memorable in a good way is to dress for success. You don't need to "dress to the nines" but you will wear nice top and bottom garments, which should include a tie for the men and a necklace for the women. A three-piece suit is old school. Wearing a Tee-shirt and jeans will get you laughed out of the joint.

Bring copies of your resume. For in-person events bring as many paper copies as there are employers. For virtual events, be sure to attach your resume to the companies' virtual booths. To learn about how to write a resume, attend our three webinars on writing resumes. 

Mind your first impressions. Failure to make eye contact is a huge pet peeve of interviewers. At in-person job fairs make direct eye contact the majority of the time with the reps. For video job fairs, look into the camera. Posture is another first impression that you should heed, not too stiff though. Last but not least is not blabbing too much. No one likes to listen to another person talk for hours. 

These are just a few job fair tips. We want your experience to be pleasant and productive. Oh, one more tip: follow up. Make sure you ask for the reps' names during the video and in-person job fairs. Better yet, ask for their business cards during the in-person job fair, as well as ask the reps if they're on LinkedIn so you can go to their profiles. Get prepared for our job fairs and then sign up for them by going to our website, www.masshirelowellcc.com, where you can find the links for both of them on our homepage.
