Staffing. Expect a steady stream of students during exhibit hours. There are no other conference activities during this time frame.
Who should staff your booth. Some exhibitors use human resource
professionals, others have accounting professionals and some have both. You
might also consider a mix of younger and experienced staff to represent
your organization. What is most important is that the person in the booth
knows what is expected.
Staffers should:
Know what types of career options are available for accounting professionals
within the company, not just the current job openings.
Know if the company is currently hiring and for what positions.
Know if they are expected to screen resumes and students, or just collect resumes.
Know who the primary contact is for interested students.
Have a set of questions used for screening.
Dress Code. Students are told to think of this as an interview and to
dress professionally. Some exhibitors have commented that they felt
underdressed.
Handouts. Most exhibitors bring handouts. You won’t need a
handout for each student. We suggest that you bring about 75 handouts.
Many exhibitors have candy or a free gift to make their booth more interesting
to students.
Business cards. Students are told to ask for business cards, so bring
lots with you.
Door prizes. Students will be encountering many potential employers;
ensure your name sticks out as an employer of choice. Establish your place in
students' memories with a door prize donation. To donate, contact Michael Wells at
mwells@oldrepublictitle.com.
