Career Fair Booth Essentials
As students return to campus, now’s the perfect time to prepare your career fair booth!
With any event, it’s important to step into the shoes of your target audience. For college students, the focus is on their future careers. They’re constantly asked what’s next, eager to choose the right path. The pressure is on and there’s no time to waste!
Being well prepared for career fairs saves time and energy for you and the students. A great booth with clear messaging and well-trained staff shows the students you care about your company and you care about them. In this blog, we’ll go through everything you need to know to attract your dream employees.
Tables
Tables are an essential part of a career booth for displaying freebies, brochures, QR codes and so much more.
Most likely, every booth at a career fair will include tables, so make yours stand out. Select branded table covers to speak for you or fitted covers if the event is outside.
Banner stands
Banner stands allow for displaying information about your company.
Statistics, key points and potential job openings listed in one place allow students to quickly skim and understand relevant information.
You could even include a QR code that links to your careers page or current job postings.
Displays
If your event is located indoors, you’ll need a clean, on-brand backdrop. Don’t use the same black curtain that your company has had since 2005. Keep your brand up to date by using a 10’ x 8’ custom display.
We would recommend our Value-Pro 10’ x 8’ flat tension fabric display if you’re looking for something quick and budget-friendly.
Or, if you want students to see your booth from across the room, we would recommend our Lumos 10’ x 8’ backlit display.
Event Tents
An event tent is a must if the career fairs on your calendar are held outside. If a branded tent is in the budget, always opt for it: overhead branding reaches farther and draws students in.
Your tent display can be combined with the custom table covers and banner stands above to make your event presence more immersive for future candidates.
Information: What Students Actually want to Know
What roles are open right now?
What experience and skills are you looking for?
When should they apply?
Where is the role located?
What is the compensation package?
Be ready to answer any questions students might ask, but prepare your team on the basics.
So How Do You Stand Out?
3 easy steps:
1. Prepare a well-designed and welcoming booth to draw students in and inspire conversation. Decide what information will be displayed on your booth materials to create this environment.
2. Train your staff to answer the most common questions students may have.
3. Respect students’ time. If their goals and skills aren’t aligned with your company, wish them well and send them on their way.
We’re wishing you the best career fair season and we’re here to help! If you have any questions on how you can succeed at your booth, reach out to our team here at Ace Displays.
