Are you a student ready to transition to work? Sign up for MaxAbility's Reverse Job Fair on Thursday, April 24, 10 AM - 11:30 AM at 125 Live in Rochester. What is a reverse job fair? In a typical job fair, job seekers approach employers to learn about their business and available positions. At a reverse job fair, employers are encouraged to circulate and talk with job seekers stationed at tables to meet skilled candidates for their open positions. This makes the prospect of a job fair less intimidating for job seekers and allows businesses to focus on individual job seekers.
Employers and job seekers can share information on the best way to connect after the event.
You will be provided a table to set-up your booth.
In your booth, you could choose to use a tri-fold poster board to share your work experiences in pictures.
Or you could bring a laptop to share a presentation with employers. You will need copies of your resume to share with employers.
