The Career Fair Part 2

Many students continue to wonder- are career fairs important or even effective? The short answer is an emphatic YES.

This episode is part 2 of “The Career Fair.”  

In this episode I reconnect with Maddie Haen who now works for Hefty Seeds and attends many career fairs as their recruiter. She is an alumnus of South Dakota State University and was one of the students I interviewed for the episode titled “The Career Fair,” early in season 1 of this podcast. I encourage you to go back to that episode and listen to it because we define the career fair and highlight different ways to prepare for career fairs.

In my conversation with Maddie on this episode we highlight a few key items students need to consider when preparing for a career fair such as how to answer the prompt, “so tell me a little bit about yourself.” We also highlight what is helpful from the recruiting perspective that build on what she shared in the original Career Fair episode.
