Job Fair - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Dilong26 · 01-19-2012, 02:00 PM

It is my last quarter at Cal Poly graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. In 20 min, I am going to attend the job fair probably the last one at this school for me. Its like a do or die, ok maybe its not that serious but I'm always nervous about these things. Any last minute tips?

Good luck!!

Never been to a job fair, but i would be ready to answer "strengths & weaknesses" questions. Be enthusiastic.

Again, good luck!

How did you swing a 2011 T4R as a college student with no real job?

The truck is actually half mine and half my dad's.

In addition, smile and never talk negatively about other companies/programs. Always be ready to field the question "tell me about yourself..."

If you are an ME major then jobs could be tight. I have heard rumors about ME 's having to fight for a job.

I graduated with an ISM degree via UCSC. Cal Poly is known to be a great school, I am sure you will find something.

I got my current job (fortune 250) by putting my resume on Monster. I was hired 2 weeks after graduating in 2010.

Get names, contact info from every company you are interested in. Add them to your LinkedIn.

BE willing to move. Apply across the US. You will find something.

There was a google post I found a couple months ago prior to attending one that was helpful; trying to find it and will post if I have any luck.

Basically, prepare for being interviewed. Remember to stay POSITIVE. Even if they ask seemingly negative questions, turn them around.

Ask them questions. Show interest. Don't talk about money, vacation/PTO, or benefits, etc. Make it sound like you'll be a real asset to the company and whatnot.

Hello to the community,
Not very enthusiastic about a job fair, but still.. I'm currently unemployed, looking for job fairs in my area (Ohio). I graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from one of the ABET credited programs (Arizona State University Electrical Engineering). Any tips for a fresh graduate from Newark?
