Attention recent graduates: happening tomorrow at BUILD Chicago:

Are you interested in new innovative ways to recruit? Then join us at Eccles Town Hall for our inaugural Reverse Job Fair... What's it all about..? A reverse job fair is an innovative event where the roles are reversed. Job seekers have their own stands where they showcase their skills and experiences, and employers walk around the venue, visiting candidates that align with their employment needs. This format provides a unique opportunity for employers to meet a diverse range of candidates in a more personal and detailed manner than traditional jobs fairs or recruitment events. More here... Q: What exactly is a Reverse Job Fair? A: Imagine a traditional job fair turned on its head! Instead of employers setting up booths, it’s the job seekers who showcase their skills and experiences at their own tables. Employers walk around, engage in conversations, and discover potential candidates. Q: What role do employers play at this event? A: Employers are the audience with a unique opportunity to meet a diverse group of talented individuals, learn about their skills, and even discuss potential job opportunities. It’s a chance to see the person behind the CV. Q: Who sets up the tables at a Reverse Job Fair? A: The job seekers themselves! Each participant sets up a table to represent their skills, experiences, and the type of work they’re seeking. It’s a personal touch that adds depth to their professional profile. Q: Do I need to have vacancies in my company to attend? A: Not necessarily on the day. If you are anticipating recruitment for specific roles in the future but these positions are not yet open, you are still encouraged to attend. Feel free to bring along job specifications and share the expected timescale for recruitment. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to get ahead in finding the perfect candidate for upcoming roles. Q: Why is the job fair organised in this manner? A: This format empowers job seekers to present themselves in a creative and personal way, while employers get a clearer, more holistic view of potential candidates. It’s a win-win: candidates stand out, and employers find hidden gems. Q: Why should I attend this Reverse Job Fair? A: Beyond the opportunity to fill current vacancies, you’ll be networking, promoting your company, and perhaps most importantly, supporting an inclusive employment landscape. It’s an investment in the community and in the future of your business. Mark Your Calendar! When: 26th March Where: Eccles Town Hall Hosted by: Salford Supported Employment Service Interested?

Today when I first came across this I was a little disappointed in the timing. It’s on a Wednesday in the middle of the day. This eliminates so many from being able to attend. Then I started to wonder… we have so many young adults graduating in less than 60 days. How wonderful would it be if we could allow them to attend these job fairs. So I was thinking about how high schools offer “Comp Days” for Juniors and Seniors to go tour potential colleges. The schools fully support these days. So why can’t we use these “Comp Days” for other students to attend job fairs. Give these students that have no intentions of going to college the opportunity to explore and network other career opportunities. Some schools do bring a few select students to job fairs, but these are typically your high achieving students that are already planning to attend college. Those students are good, they have a plan. My heart is always with the students that are lost, the ones that have no direction. That’s the student that needs guidance. Those are the students that need to hear the success stories. When I post and say, share your story because you never know who you might be inspiring, this is what I’m talking about. Let’s make career fair/ job interview “Comp Days” a new normal.
