Remember - FisherConnect provides access to student resumes before the Internship Invitational!

Before the Event:

• Web site: FisherConnect will make it possible for students to get detailed information about your organization. Be sure to enter detailed information about your opportunities. The Fisher Internship Invitational website allows you to log in and access student resumes; you can then e-mail selected students and ask them to stop by your booth.
• Student Guide: A week before the job fair, students can download a guide to the fair including a profile of each company attending the internship fair.
• Cost:  Event registration is $500 for 1-4 recruiters and $600 for 5-8 recruiters.

Where to Stay:

• Local hotels near OSU

Event Agenda:

• 12pm - 2pm Employer Check In and Set Up (Lunch is not provided, however, employers can dine at the Bistro 2110 at the Blackwell, the Rohr Cafe in Mason Hall, or the Panera on Lane Ave)
• 12pm -5pm Snacks, Water, Sodas, Coffee, Tea available in Recruiter Break Areas
• 2pm - 6pm Fair Open to Students
• 6pm - 7pm Wrap Up and Tear Down

During the Event:

• Use displays that attract students that are: visually and graphically attractive, have pictures of the work setting, and feature engaging information about job duties, salary, etc.
• Step out from behind your table to be more approachable to students and attract candidates.
• Have plenty of business cards to pass out to students. Bring detailed job descriptions. Be prepared to provide some advice to those students who are looking for opportunities for which you are not recruiting (i.e. a human resources contact in the company or someone the student can connect with).
• Bring recent hires or other representatives from your company to assist you with recruiting efforts.
• Bring small promotional items so that students have a reminder of your company after the Career Fair.
• Plan to stay until the end of the job fair to ensure that you do not miss good candidates who may come at the end of the event. Keep in mind that many students will attend the Conference around their class schedules; a student who arrives during the last hour isn't necessarily late. He or she may have simply come after class.
• If you are NOT collecting resumes and are referring students to a website, please have a handout that details the procedure and tells them what will happen next. Make sure to give the website address and directions. Feedback from students indicates that verbally referring them to a website after they have stood in line to talk to you is disappointing and frustrating. Please be sensitive to their need to know how their resumes can be noticed. Thank you.

After the Event:

• Take advantage of Fisher's on-campus Interviewing Services.
• Follow-up in a timely manner with all candidates.
• Let students know whether they will receive an interview or if they are no longer being considered. If you have no immediate job opportunities, keep in touch with those students who you are interested in for future openings.
• Continue to use the Fisher Career Management office for additional resume referrals, on-campus interviewing opportunities and job postings.
