“What’s going on with kids these days? They just don’t have the same work ethic we do.” Many have uttered these words in frustration and confusion, expecting it will change eventually.

Back home, sort through the business cards, company literature, and notes that you made. Prioritize them for follow up.
SET YOURSELF APART FROM OTHER CANDIDATES by sending a thank you note that reminds them who you are and what you have to offer. Express interest in the position that you discussed and mention why you are such a good match. Request an opportunity to meet with them again.

It is often hard for them to keep track of who’s who so do your part to help them remember you!

It is generally a good idea to give employers a few days to catch up on their work and sort through the piles of r?sum?s and applications they collected during the job fair.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE RECRUITER OR MANAGER WANT TO TAKE YOUR FOLLOW-UP CALL? Do your research before you pick up the telephone. Then, prepare a couple of job-related questions that demonstrate your knowledge of the company and interest in the position.
Don’t call during their busy times—usually Monday morning and Friday afternoon. Treat whoever answers with courtesy and respect. That person may be the one who decides whether or not your call goes through to the right person.
