Chicago, Illinois the third most populous city in the US, next to New York City and Los Angeles.  It has 2.7 million residents and serves an international hub for a number of different industries, particularly those in finance, technology, telecommunications, and transportation.  Job opportunities are plentiful in the Windy City which is why organized events like the Chicago Career Fair are successful.  Meeting potential employers face-to-face gives jobseekers the opportunity to ask questions and make a good first impression on recruiters.ChicagoJobFair The purpose of a job fair, career fair or career expo is to find quality candidates to fill open positions within a company.  It’s a time where potential employees can meet with employers to discuss work opportunities.  This type of event is heavily advertised and attracts a crowd of people.  Jobseekers come armed with copies of their resumes with the hope that they can find the perfect place of employment to work for. Employers set up tables or booths with the idea that they will network with and hire prospective employees.  If this is your intention for the future, you can come to Chicago fully prepared to hire talent.  One of the ways you can attract the best candidates is by having a packet of information available that explains the history of and the open positions within your company. Another way to encourage people to apply for jobs is through the distribution of custom lapel pins with your company website on them.  Including a URL as text on the pins provides jobseekers with the information needed to apply for employment online.  Many men and women prefer to submit their applications and resumes electronically.   It’s a convenient way to reach an employer if the company’s recruiters are busy speaking to or interviewing other candidates. Pins can be attached to the packet of information that you distribute.  This is a convenient way to reach jobseekers and make a great first impression with your professional gift.   A soft enamel, cloisonne, offset printed or die struck pin truly stands out in a crowd of people. There is never a way to tell how many people will attend a job fair.  Recruiters for your company don’t have to worry about missing qualified applicants because they were busy speaking to other candidates.  By having your contact information on brochures, pamphlets, and custom pins, you’re going above and beyond to let a person know that you want to hear from them.
