I stood out at a virtual job fair with this strategy! 💼
I made my own background that cuts the intros and tailored it to the industry that the job fair is for.
Added a QR code with my resume, and had a link in hand to copy paste in the chat.
Did I feel "cringe" at first? Yes.
But my small talk felt more straight to the point.
It was interesting to see them a bit surprised, but then what I had hoped would happen, happened.
There were multiple people in that fair,
But I gave hiring managers talking points to start with.
My intention was to get more people interested quicker without cutting anyone off or having that initial first small talk that can sometimes be a bit awkward.
"Oh! I see you got your highlights behind you."
I thought I was insane for having this idea and implementing it, but I'm glad I did.
As for the background color, I chose dark green to help contrast easily with the lettering, and well, most good things are green.
If you don't want to use green, use dark blue.
Then, wear a top that is a lighter color to stand out.
Every step of this search, I'm learning that being bold, within reason, is the thing to do. I've been enjoying finding creative ways to execute it.
Pair strategies like this with confidence in your voice, and you'll likely stand out from the crowd! 😉
I hope this helps!
