Preparation

Well prepared is half done. Inform yourself about exhibiting employers, look through vacancies in advance, prepare an elevator speech about yourself ... and get inspired.

Click on a company profile, select an employee in the “1-1 Chat” tab and send a 1-1 chat request. Once the request is accepted, you will have to select a time slot – now your chat is set. Just log in at the agreed date and get started. Tip: Check the tool's mailbox on a regular basis to see which of your requests have been accepted.

Click on “Session” in the company profile and "Register" to sign up – and participate on October 20 at the stated time. You want to have a say in a session’s content? Then ask your question under “FAQ” – or vote up another question that has already been asked. The more likes a question receives, the more likely it will be discussed in the session.

It is up to you. If you do apply for vacancies in advance, then address it directly at Career Calling – your application documents may have stuck in their memory. If you apply afterwards, don’t forget to reference your fair conversation in your application letter.

There are only a few mandatory fields, so for the most part you can decide for yourself whether you want to fill them out or not. But: The more information you provide, the higher your chances of being discovered by employers. For one thing, completed profiles are prioritized in the search. Also, this will make companies curious about you. A bar in your profile will let you know the status of your completion.
