For your top choices\, review the employer’s current posting or careers page if one is available. Choose several priorities\, but do not limit yourself to only those employers. \n 02 | Get ReadyBring what helps you have a better conversationUpdate your resume and bring several copies if you have them. Bring a pen and something for notes. Be ready to explain the kind of work you want and the experience or skills you can offer. \n 03 | At the EventMeet your priorities\, then exploreStart with employers you researched\, then meet others in the room. Companies often hire for jobs that are not obvious from the company name\, so an unfamiliar employer may still have a strong match for you. \n 04 | After the EventFollow the employer’s next stepComplete any application you were asked to submit\, follow up when appropriate\, and keep your job search moving. A useful conversation should leave you knowing what to do next. \n \n\n Veterans: translate military experience into the work you actually performed. When it helps\, explain military terms in plain language and connect your experience to skills employers recognize\, such as leadership\, maintenance\, logistics\, safety\, operations\, technical work\, teamwork\, or problem solving.\n Do not measure the day only by whether you leave with a job offer. A good result may be a screening\, an interview\, a useful employer contact\, a better understanding of the job\, or a clear next step in the hiring process.\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n Talking With Employers\n Keep the conversation clear\, specific\, and natural\n You do not need a memorized speech. Introduce yourself\, explain the kind of work you want\, connect your experience to the employer’s needs\, and ask a question that helps you understand the opportunity. \n\n \n \n A simple introduction\n Use your own words. The goal is to give the employer something specific to respond to. \n “Hi\, I’m Jordan. I’m looking for maintenance or mechanical work. I have about three years of experience working with tools and equipment\, and I saw that you have maintenance openings. What are you looking for in those positions?”\n \n \n Questions that can move the conversation forward\n \n I saw your posting for ________. What should I know about that position?\n Which qualifications matter most when you are reviewing applicants?\n Are there other positions that might fit my experience?\n What does the hiring process look like after I apply?\n Is there anything you recommend I emphasize in my application?\n If I apply today\, is there an appropriate way to follow up?\n \n \n \n\n \n Know the basics firstDo a little research so you do not have to begin by asking what the company does.\n Respect the lineGive the employer and other job seekers room to finish their conversations without interruption.\n Watch the timeA useful conversation does not have to be long. If others are waiting\, ask how to continue the conversation later.\n Ask about the role firstPay and benefits matter\, but the conversation usually goes better when you first understand the job and hiring process.\n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n Workforce Solutions Panhandle\n Keep your job search moving before and after the event\n Use the hiring event to make connections\, then use these resources to search for jobs\, prepare\, build skills\, and make informed decisions about your next step. \n\n \n WorkInTexas.comSearch job openings\, review requirements\, and continue your job search before and after the event.

The event opens to the general public from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. \n Can I attend if I am not a veteran?Yes. The general public may attend from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. \n Do I need a resume?A resume is useful\, and bringing several copies is a good idea if you have one. Some employers may prefer an online application\, so be prepared for either process. \n What should I wear?Wear clean\, work-appropriate clothing that fits the type of position you are pursuing. There is no single correct outfit for every occupation. Comfortable shoes are also a good idea because you may spend time standing and walking. \n Should I apply before the hiring event?If an employer has an active posting and accepts online applications\, applying beforehand can give you more to discuss at the event. Follow that employer’s application instructions\, then use your conversation at the event to ask questions and understand the next step. \n Will employers interview people at the event?Some employers may conduct brief screenings or interviews. Others may use the event to meet candidates\, answer questions\, and explain their hiring process. Be prepared to talk about your experience either way. \n What if I do not meet every qualification?Ask which qualifications matter most and whether another opening may fit your background better. Do not assume one imperfect match means the employer has nothing else for you. \n What if an employer tells me to apply online?That is normal. Meeting an employer at the hiring event does not replace the employer’s formal application process. Follow the instructions the employer gives you and complete the application promptly. \n Can Workforce Solutions Panhandle help me prepare?Yes. Job seeker services can help with resumes\, applications\, interview preparation\, job search strategy\, and other employment needs before the event. \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n My Job Fair Plan\n 0 employers | 0 jobs saved\n \n Open My Job Fair Plan\n\n\n\n \n My Job Fair PlanSave employers and jobs as you browse\, use the checklist to get ready\, and print or save a copy to take with you. \n X\n \n \n Your plan is saved only in this browser on this device.
