After a fair, some companies have their recruiters complete a simple evaluation sheet on the candidates they meet. These sheets can include most of the following:
Personal Appearance: Dress like you are a serious candidate and they’ll treat you like you are a serious candidate.
Professionalism: Come prepared, be able to communicate your skills clearly and concisely, and be knowledgeable about the employer and what they do.
Confidence: We know you’re nervous. The trick is to appear like you are not.
Leadership: Be ready to highlight your leadership experience whether in a job, club or volunteer setting.
Etiquette: Be sure to use your best interpersonal skills.
