The career fair is a great opportunity to meet with different companies, find job leads, and build your network. You need to understand how to present yourself and make the most of these events. Here are a few tips.
Before Your Test
1. Find the Right Pen This is going to be very important. The right pen can greatly add to or remove any cramping that you may experience. There are three main criteria that you need to have in mind when purchasing your pen. The first is a wide grip. When a pen has a wider grip your fingers do not have to close down as much, nor do they need to exert the same amount of pressure to hold the pen. The wide grip affords you a much natural hand position.
When learning HTML I would recommend learning XHMTL first. XHTML is an older version of the language that required stricter adherence to its rules. This will help you get in the habit of writing clear and easily navigable code. Once you feel comfortable move on to HTML5 (the newest rendition) which adds some nice perks to the language and relaxes the rules a bit.
Prepare your pitch. Know what it is you are going to say and what you would like to ask. Do background research on the most important companies and write down notes to bring with you to the fair. Before you speak with a company look at your notes so you are able to make better use of your time instead of asking ignorant questions like what the company does.
After having spent this entire time finding the right pen you don't want to have to do it again. If you can find a nicer pen that takes replaceable ink so you can use it over and over. If you prefer some reusable pens are also very comfortable. I personally preferred to find a great pen and use it through my college career; to each his own.
This actually may have negative repercussions because the first impression they give to recruiters is that they are lazy and unprepared. You need to make a good impression so they look through your resume afterwards.
During Your Test
1. Stretch Before you being to write and during the test there are a number of different stretches that you can do to reduce the cramping in your hand. One set of exercises you can do is as follows: -Hold out your arm in front of you with your palm facing down. Lift up wrist while letting your fingers dangle downward. -Next reverse the motion by pressing your wrist downward and stretching up your fingers -Relax your hand and slowly open and close it fully. -If necessary repeat the motions.
Similar to Java PHP can also be used across all the major operating systems. You will most likely be using PHP for outputting images, PDF files, Flash Movies, and text via HTML. I would recommend you start with Java and then move on to PHP. In my experience they flow better this way. Also having a good understanding of Java gives you a leg-up learning software coding languages in the future if you have an interest.
Make sure you have the contact for the area you are interested in. Often the needed contact is not the recruiter but the head of another department so make sure to ask. Give out your resume. Underline your contact information your graduation date and write a note about what you discussed to help the recruiter remember you.
3. Take Breaks Space out breaks evenly during your test. For during a two hour test perhaps every fifteen minutes set your pen down for five seconds and just relax your hand. You can also throw some stretching in during these breaks. This break time does not need to be unproductive. In fact it can be highly beneficial if you use it as time to evaluate what you have wrote and what you plan to write. This will help you maintain a holistic view of your paper and help you write a better.
Make contact with the individuals you spoke with. Reach out through email, LinkedIn, or even a phone call. Thank them for the time they took in speaking with you and ask them to keep you updated in job opportunities.
2. Houston, we have a problem If you are having a serious problem with cramping then talk with your professor about it. Some cramping issues can be hereditary while others are developed over time. It should not matter if you in a St. George college or at Oxford professors will want to help you succeed so speak with them after class and arrange for different accommodations that will allow you to take the test without causing yourself injury.
