• Follow up. Keep notes about conversations and any specific details you will need to follow up. Don’t expect to remember such details hours after talking with several people. Pause between tables to write any information that you will need for later use. Be sure you know each person’s correct name and title. Remember to get a business card!
• Within one week and preferably within 24 hours, write a thank you letter to recruiters. Keep the note short and friendly. This is a “thank you” for what they did, not a hard-sell pitch for what you want. As appropriate, be specific about when you will next contact them.
• Within two weeks of the event, make follow-up contact with the representatives regarding an interview unless you have discussed an alternative arrangement.
• Then make sure you do in fact call when you said you would. Very few people follow through to this step; therefore, you will be head and shoulders above the crowd at this point.
• If you did not get to meet with a specific representative, contact the company, let them know of your interest, and request an opportunity to meet with them. |
