Attending job fairs is always the best way to go about mastering them. Before going to any expo in town it is necessary for you to prepare yourself. Many job fairs have set of similar, basic elements or processes in which attention is required. The most important in this is distribution of your resume and your ability to network with companies employees on the spot.

Designing of the resume doesn’t mean that you get a job. A resume can’t make you qualified if you are not up to the mark .A resume won’t open up doors or knock down obstacle in your path. Executive resume’s are much longer (two or even three pages is the norm) if we compare it with entry level or mid level resume. Everything in the resume should support a specific career target. Resume should present a sharp, focused, cohesive picture of the person that who he is and why he is valuable.

A suggestion I would like to share with everyone – from recent college graduates to executives who are earning over $100k -is use social media and start a proactive job search. Over the past year the recruiting industry has changed dynamically; use social media and start a proactive job search. Posting ads on the traditional job boards or hiring headhunters is replaced by searching through candidate’s profile on linkedin and doing online their own diligence. If you haven’t done this than create an linkedin facebook and twitter accounts by taking some time out. In today’s competitive era the basic rule is to grow up or you will be left behind.

In consulting firms interviews you may be asked some “real-world” problem, usually one with which you’re totally unfamiliar! Use them as an opportunity to demonstrate how you approach problems. They also try to pressurize you usually through silence or confrontational questions, to see how you react. Answer pleasantly and calmly, ignoring the provocation.

Preparation is vital for interviews as it offers you and an employer the opportunity to learn whether or not there is a “fit” between you and the employer’s organization. While you can’t anticipate every question, you can prepare yourself to make the most of whatever you are asked. Think about your own abilities and experience in relation to an employer’s needs. Be able to discuss why you want both this type of work and a position with this particular employer. Identify your strengths in relation to each job for which you interview. Prepare examples to make your answers credible and memorable. You can then use an open-ended question to allow you to talk about the strengths you wish to stress. Anything on your resume is fair game for discussion. Prepare to describe, explain or discuss any item on it.

Search firms (also known as executive recruiters) play an important role in your job search, so before using them as a resource you should be aware about few basic points.
