Shannon, Thank you for mentioning some key strategies. When you mention career fairs are you referring to your campus career fairs or community fairs? Both are important functions for both your students and Career Services Team members to attend. Obviously, when students attend career fairs, they have the opportunity to introduce themselves to multiple employers and to increase their chance of becoming employed. Oftentimes Career Services Professionals miss wonderful opportunities to introduce their students and graduates to employers. Outside job/career fairs are one such opportunity. The CS Team members can introduce themselves to the employers and start to establish a relationship that could benefit their students. A best practice that I have heard is when a CS prfessional takes a student or 2 to the career fair and introduces them to the employers. By doing this, the student learns how to address the employers and becomes more confident, so they are able to speak to employers on their own with more self-assurance. What other best practices relating to career fair or alumni events can you share? Sheri Leach
