In this week’s LEAP course session, we were assigned our Informational Interview in which we were instructed to attend the Career Fair during our next class session and ask the employers questions. On October 29th, LEAP1 students are to attend the career fair and introduce themselves to a minimum of five employers of interested and obtain their business cards. We are also to write a reflection in the discussion board on Blackboard and respond to at least two peers.
We reviewed the proper attire to wear for the Career Fair and how to conduct ourselves when interacting with the employers. We went over examples of questions to ask the employers and try to get contact information in order to setup an information interview when they were available to talk more.
Some questions I plan to ask employers include:
- Do you enjoy your work?
- What is the average starting salary in your workplace?
- What does an average day look like in your workplace?
- What are the requirements to be hired in your position?
I will include my reflection of my Career Fair experience in my LEAP Course blog post next week.
