  • Review what employers are attending the Fair and make a list of employers that you want to talk to and research them before the fair. 
    • Check out the company website for more information and try to find the job posting, so that you know what the employer is looking for in their employees.
  • Prepare an elevator pitch to introduce yourself to employers. If you have done your research on which employer’s you want to talk to, you should have at least one reason prepared on why you want to work for their company. Creating an elevator pitch for the Youth Hiring Fair
