The event promises opportunities ranging from entry-level positions to top management roles.
Jacqueline emphasized the importance of preparation for attendees. "The key to preparing for a job fair is to prepare your resume [that highlights] your training, experience, and achievements," she advised. Additionally, she recommended researching the companies beforehand and dressing professionally to make a positive first impression. "Dress to match the culture and environment of the field you're interested in," she noted.
Jacqueline shared valuable insights on using the job fair as a networking platform.
