Talk to as many people as possible<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Price once advised a woman looking for a job to talk to every recruiter at the fair. One table had orange cones and neon vests to attract construction workers, but the company needed a human resources director. The woman wasn\u2019t interested in construction, but still talked to the recruiter at the table.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>And she landed the HR director job.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI encourage job seekers to stop and talk to each table,\u201d Price said. \u201cRecruiters are at individual booths and represent so many different types of companies with different positions. You never know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>2. Take advantage of being in front of recruiters<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Price recommends that job seekers make the most of meeting recruiters in person as opposed to applying on websites or cold-calling businesses.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe willing to spend the time if you are there because you get to see people face-to-face,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=2190\">A record number of Miami-Dade families live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Be confident<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Employers have told Price the importance of being confident enough to walk up to tables. If the job seekers can\u2019t be bold enough to walk up to a table, how well will do well if hired?<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call it speed dating with jobs,\u201d she said. \u201cEmployers are meeting 1,000 employees in a four-hour window.

Dress for success<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Dressing professionally is part of what Price says job seekers can do to make a good impression on recruiters. She also recommends that job seekers wear flat shoes instead of heels for comfort when they\u2019re walking around the arena.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDress for success,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t come with your AirPods in your ears. It\u2019s a mini-interview. Don\u2019t be on the way to the beach, hear about this on the radio and come to the job fair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>5. Act as if you are being interviewed<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Price said that job seekers should focus on being a job candidate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you wouldn\u2019t do it an interview, don\u2019t do it at a job fair,\u201d she said. \u201cTreat it as if you were going on an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>6.
