What you get

  • Gain visibility with hiring companies
  • A variety of employers and hundreds of job opportunities
  • Network with employers and industry peers 

Tips

  • Be prepared to tell the recruiter about yourself in less than two minutes – it's essential to make an immediate impact
  • Write down everything you want them to know about you and then condense it as much as possible
  • Practice it until you feel comfortable, and ask everyone you know to listen to your story
  • During these practice sessions focus on talking slowly, because when you're nervous you're bound to speed up
  • Remember, the more you practice, the less likely you are to make a mistake during the actual conversation
