3) Do you have any tips on preparation for the Career Fair?

There are many videos on LinkedIn and articles online on how to prepare for Career Fairs, Interviews, and Resume Creation. Some resources are:

Federal Resume Writing Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YX7o1PBoFk
Federal Resume Writing Tip Sheet: https://hru.gov/Studio_Recruitment/tools/Resume_Writing_Handout.pdf
10 keys to Success at Job and Career Fairs: https://www.livecareer.com/career/advice/jobs/job-career-fairs
Civilian Resume Template, Cover Letter Template, Reference Sheet Template and more resources: https://www.hireheroesusa.org/tools-resources/

*No command or federal endorsement is implied by referencing the resources above.



4) What should I wear?

The rule of thumb is that you dress one level above the corporate culture or type of position you are looking for. Is the position normally where they wear jeans and a t-shirt? Then you should go business casual with khakis and polos. Do they wear business casual? Then you may want slacks and a button down (or skirt and polo for women). This takes a bit of research on your part, but the bottom line is that you can NEVER be too dressy when it comes to making your first impression.



5) How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

You can send your questions to: navfac_sw_jobs@navy.mil
