Peopleprime Graduate Recruitment Fair :What To Expect!!!

Dear Nairaland users,
Have u been invited for People Prime Assestment Fair in July 26-27? then the info below may help.
GOOD LUCK

Make The Most Out of Your Career Fair Experience.
Career Fair success lies in effective preparation, and communication. Make sure to  research the employers you want to visit: learn about them, the positions they're looking to fill, and what type of candidates they're looking for.

Tip:  Arrive with a positive attitude
Have your 30 second commercial ready

Tip:  Bring at least 20 copies of your resume.

Fact: Employers only look at resumes an average of 10 seconds. Make sure you’re leaving employers with the impression - Hire Me!
 
Tip:  Do your research!
The more you know about a company, the more you can converse with the company representative and the more memorable you will be.


Tip:  Get the interviewer's business card.
If you are called for an interview, you will want to follow up with a letter that reinforces the points you made and the facts you learned.

 
Tip:  Maximize, Maximize, Maximize!
The lines might be daunting but don't fail to maximize this opportunity. Talk to every company that fits your experience and ambitions. If you meet with 20 recruiters, at the end of the day you will know 20 people by name. That sure beats sending a blind resume to "Personnel Director."

 
Tip:  Plan a few key questions!
Be ready to ask intelligent questions like asking how your skills might be utilized within the framework of the company and by asking questions about relevant news within that organization. Make sure to ask the recruiter what he or she likes best about the corporate culture to better assess if that company is right for you.

 
Tip:  Wear Proper Business Attire
First impressions count!

Follow-up.
Don't take the order of this key to mean it to be the least important; in fact, some would say it is one of the most important. You would be surprised at how few job-seekers actually take the time to follow-up their career fair interviews, thus when you do it, you will get an edge over the many others who do not. There are two main methods of follow-up. Some experts suggest actually calling the recruiter the evening of the fair and leaving a voicemail message thanking the recruiter again for his/her time that day. A more concrete and traditional method is to write a thank you note and mail it the next day to the address on the recruiter's business card. In the letter, thank the recruiter for his/her time, restate your interest and qualifications for the position, reiterate your interest in a second interview, and make a promise to follow-up the letter with a phone call (and then make sure you do in fact call). You probably should enclose another copy of your resume to be sure.

Hello Helpmate,

Thanks a million for your post on People Prime Recuitment fair. Indeed, it is an eye-opener to what one should expect.
Please, can u mention some of the likely companies to be present at the fair? This will help one to research these companies before the d-day. And the procedure to be used in meeting them?
i look forward to hearing from you soon.
Once again, thank you.

Please Nairalanders, remember the 2nd stage is assessment before the fair.
Helpmate---what are we to look forward to at the assessment

Please kindly tell us the various organisations that are likely to come to the peopleprime interview,

I got their invitation but was afraid that it's a scam. inform me guys.

People Prime recruitment assessment is a step to the fair.
If u think it is a scam, then u can forget going to the fair.
I think because we are not used to recruitment fairs, we think everything is scam.
If they ask for a small token, why not pay and see what comes out.
Nothing comes for free.

please seun, Could u please make this post sticky for a while

nice one people.

Now that we been invited 4 d fair. What is the probability that there won`t be any need for follow up after the fair, i mean; will the companies confirm to those they will be taking there and then after the fair? or will there be " we will reach u later"?
Any one with response to this?

please has anyone been invited from those that wrote in Lagos? I wrote in the Balmoral and still havent gotten my invitation, called them to confirm if I will be shortlisted and they specifically stated that no one has been invited from the Lagos zone. Is this true?

hey guys, there is need for those that havent seenn theirs to thoroughly check their inbox and bulk mails.text messages were also sent to some people.this is an opportunity of a life time,i advice we all make guud use of it. those of u that think its a scam,its a matter of choice. let God b d jugde. as 4 d companies to expect, my mail read that they will send it TWO weeks before d fair. i wish all invited graduates all the best. we have to show them the stuff we are made of.love y'all

please i want to know those that think is a scam didn't u write the test that others wrote before u were invited because those of us that wrote in lagos have not even received our invitation letters. i want to know are they also inviting people that didn't write the test and go through the preliminary interview. Thanks.
