Despite the busy schedule, modern companies collect resumes and meet potential employees at job fairs. This saves time and builds a resume base based on real conversation, making it faster and easier to select employees for different positions. Sometimes the interview and selection of employees is also done at job fairs. If you attended a job fair, it is very important to show interest in the company after it, so that you will be remembered and distinguished from others.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Preparation

1. 1 Choose a way to communicate. There are many ways you can contact an employer after meeting them at a job fair. You can choose from the following methods:
   • Send a text message in the same format as the business letter. Keep it short and succinct, and simply indicate that you are grateful for your time.
   • You can also write an email to the company's official email address.
   • Write a traditional letter by hand and attach a copy of your resume.
2. 2 Connect with the employer on Linkedin. Send an invitation to your employer via Linkedin.
   • Write a short letter of thanks and attach it to the invitation.
   • In this case, you have a chance to learn more about the organization and the employer.
3. 3 Respond quickly. You should quickly send a thank you letter right after the job fair. You must reply no later than 24 hours after the end of the fair.
   • This should be done while your candidacy is still fresh in the employer's mind.
   • In addition, you will be able to talk with the employer and not forget the details that you would like to clarify.
4. 4 Send a personal letter of thanks. Keep your thank-you letter personal, so try to write it by hand.
   • This is highly appreciated by employers as it shows that you are interested in the job.
   • If you had an important discussion with your employer at a job fair, please include it in your letter.
5. 5 Your letter should be clear and thorough. Don't write long stories, as letters that are too long are difficult to read and the employer may lose interest.
   • Be thorough and don't write more than three paragraphs.
   • List the main points that you discussed with the employer. This will express your interest and attention in the discussion.
   • This will help create the impression that you are serious about everything and that you are easy to train.

Method 2 of 2: Letter structure

1. 1 The first paragraph should start with a greeting. In the first paragraph, greet the employer and thank them for their time.
   • Refer to the issues you discussed and thank you for providing details about the company and job opportunities.
   • For example, you might write: It was a pleasure meeting you at a university job fair. Our conversation helped me learn more about your company. Thank you for your time.
2. 2 Please indicate why you are suitable as a candidate for this position. In the next paragraph, tell the employer why you are the right candidate.
   • Indicate your level of interest in the organization by describing your experience in this area. This will help the employer make the right choice and learn more about you.
   • For example, you can write: I would like to express my interest in your company. I have researched the work of your company for a long time, and I hope that you will give me the opportunity to apply my knowledge and skills to fulfill the goals of your organization.
3. 3 Finish the letter. In the last paragraph, simply thank the employer again and show interest and desire for an answer.
   • For example, you can write: I will soon graduate and be able to work full time. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet with you again and discuss the details of employment. Please call me on the phone (provide phone number) or email me (enter your email address).
4. 4 Read the letter again and make sure it is professionally written. The last thing you need to do is check your letter for grammar and other errors.
   • Have a friend or family member read the letter before you send it.

Tips

• If the company still hasn't responded to you, don't get discouraged, but use the time and direct your energy to other companies.
• Be active on Linkedin and grow your base. Communicate with people in your organization other than employers. People in the organization who are part of the team will be able to share information with you and talk about potential challenges.
• Keep looking and asking questions such as:
  • What does the position require of you?
  • What is the organization's policy?
  • How does the organization treat its employees?
• Search for companies and research the market.
• Make a list including the employer's name, job title, and contact information.
• Submit your resume to company websites.
• Check your reply letter carefully.
• Send out two emails and if you don't get a response, call the person in question for details.
• Try not to complain about the delay. The hiring process can take a long time.
