If you are qualified and interested in attending the Expo, register online at www.AlbertaJobExpo.com .

Here is some advice on how to get the most out of the Job Expo.

7 p" o# `4 o) O5 c) F7 D  P9 z; dHave your up-to-date résumé ready in advance and keep a printed copy with you to refer to when speaking to employers.
Test your computer to verify that you meet the system requirements .

; W& {. S6 L, z: l: k; @& YStand out. Research the employers you want to speak with and prepare questions about the job. Don’t be the 800th person asking who they are and what they do.
Be professional; do not use slang, emoticons or abbreviations in the online chat.
Be honest; if you are not qualified for the position, do not apply for it.
7 L% A. A* ?" c5 h' t6 j! C! v( N$ [Dress appropriately, some employers may want to have a video chat (make sure your desk space is tidy as well). A web camera is NOT required to attend the show, it is an option.

6 i/ A+ a9 A: A. N1 V+ ~4 h0 |Review Available Jobs
; q. y3 k" t% ~  KEmployers are looking for skilled workers in their advertised jobs. They have listed all available occupations. If you are looking for a job that is not listed feel free to go employer websites and submit a resume however please do not inquire at the show. Do not automatically apply for every job a company is advertising unless you are truly qualified. Employers will think you are not qualified for any job if you apply for everything.
You will be able to speak to employers and other exhibitors using the chat window. Some employers may have webcams, if you have one you can suggest a video meeting. We are expecting the show to be busy, be patient while waiting to speak with the employers of your choice.
