    Job fairs can be confusing, overwhelming, and stressful. But they don’t have to be. I’m not saying you can eliminate all the above, because nerves will naturally arise. However, there are some tidbits of adv […]

      Great tips! From the agency side of things, I would say that the one universal question asked will be along the lines of “Tell us about your interest in the position.” If you have the opportunity to interview at a job fair, make sure that you have a few minutes to review the job announcement (or notes that you made right after talking to the recruiter) before the interview to ensure that you can answer this question. It is beneficial to have a specific example of something from the announcement that piqued your interest. It helps us to know that you are truly interested in our organization, not just obtaining a position anywhere. It also tends to be the first question, so it can start the interview off on the right foot.

    Unfortunately, not all injuries can be fixed with a Band-Aid. Some injuries are larger than others and require different treatments.

    The same could be said for government’s missteps. Not all challenges can be f […]
