Network, meet employers and schools, and enter to win a free tablet at the Surrey Hiring & Education Expo!
With today’s job-searches happening more and more online, how do you stand out from the crowd?
The difference-maker can be a personal connection – something even the best-designed resume can’t achieve alone, especially with employers often inundated with applications.
So, how do you get your application in front of the right people and make a memorable impression? You start at the Surrey Hiring & Education Expo.
Coming to the Surrey Guilford Sheraton Hotel Nov. 12, the expo brings together companies from across the hiring spectrum for in-person conversations. And if you need to upgrade your skills to land your dream job, you can also chat with a variety of post-secondary institutions about how to take the next step.
Why does in-person make a difference?
A polished resume backed by education and a deep skillset, is still easily lost in an anonymous in-box.
But take that same resume and pair it with an engaged conversation, professional presentation and a friendly smile, and your potential employer now has a face to put to the on-paper experience.
For job-seekers and prospective students, a hiring and education expo also offers access to an insider’s look at a company or education program. Ask about company culture or career growth opportunities. Does the education program offer a co-op? What percentage of graduates find work?
The expo is also the ideal venue to sharpen your communication skills and professional presentation – bring clean copies of your resume, come dressed for the job you’re hoping to land, and browse the list of attendees ahead of time. Well prepared with thoughtful questions and observations, you’ll put your best foot forward!
