If you're looking for a job, here's more help ...


Ever been to one of those "cattle call" job fairs
at a hotel or event center?

If so, you probably went home without a job, right?

That's the bad news.


The good news?

You can stand out and impress employers at a job
fair --- and get hired --- if you do just a few
things differently.


This is the story of one of our Guerrilla Job Search
clients, Tom from Minneapolis, who found a great job
by attending a job fair and impressing the hiring
manager with how much he knew about the employer.


How did he get this knowledge?


By reading a local business magazine.

You can do this, too!



Here's how Tom did it:

"I kept up on the local real estate market by reading
'Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal' magazine.

"I learned the employer had picked up 200,000 sq. ft.
of office space on a 10-year lease, and I filed that
information away mentally. When I met the hiring manager
at the job fair, I told him what I knew about their
plans to expand downtown. He was impressed with my
knowledge and everything went very quickly after that
 first impression, ending with a job offer."


Action Steps: Here are 3 ways to do what Tom did --
and stand out and get hired at a job fair


1. - Research and find relevant facts about employers
before meeting them. IMPORTANT!

All job fairs publish a list of participating employers
before the event, which eliminates guesswork for you.
Simply research target companies until you find unusual
data about them, their competitors, markets, problems,
or opportunities.


2. - Bring your research notes to the job fair, so you
can speak intelligently to hiring managers.

Once you've found information that proves your interest
in an employer, jot down notes on 3×5 cards (or in your
PDA) and bring them to the job fair. Do NOT trust this
information to memory. You will forget, which defeats
the whole purpose of doing the research.


3. - Bring thank-you notes to the fair and mail them
THAT DAY to everyone you meet.

It's best to bring at least 20-25 thank-you notes, with
stamps, to the job fair. That way, you can write your
notes to employers right after meeting them, when the
conversation is still fresh in your mind. Just drop them
in the nearest mailbox before you go home.

Of course, you need to get a business card from every
employer you speak with, so you'll have an address to
mail your thank-you notes to.

The key word here is MAIL. Do not email follow-up letters
to employers. This has the same effect as emailing an
anniversary card to your wife or a birthday card to your
mom, i.e., almost no effect at all, because email
requires almost no effort.

Writing and mailing a thank-you note DOES require effort,
and 44 cents (as of this week) ... which sets you apart
from the hordes of ordinary job seekers who follow up
by email, if they follow up at all.

Note: If you're still in the job market, why not put
a stop to the frustration?
