HOW TO PREPARE

Preparation is key to success at any fair.

Prioritize organizations you want to target. Do your research/visit their websites.

Prepare thoughtful questions to show genuine interest in the organization, based on your research.

Sign up for an Employment Peer Coach appointment in the AA&CC to have your resume critiqued. Rapid Resume Reviews take place daily (Mon-Fri, 10am-12pm).

Review our Career & Job Fairs tipsheet. DURING THE FAIR

Be positive and confident. If you are comfortable, provide a firm handshake. Make eye contact. And perhaps most importantly, smile!

Before you leave a booth, ask reps for their business cards so that you can promptly send a thank you note. Having the business card of the rep you just spoke with allows you to have a direct contact with the organization and also the proper spelling of the rep's name. If they don't have any cards, ask how they would prefer you to contact them after the fair (email, LinkedIn, etc.)

Meet 1:1 with our Career Strategists/Counsellors right at the fair! o Learn how to introduce yourself, handshaking etiquette, what to say to reps, get

interview tips and more. Look for our "Questions? Start Here!" booth inside the fair.

AFTER THE FAIR

Keep the momentum going and take the next step!

Book an appointment with one of our Career Counsellors or Career Strategists to explore your interests and take the next step in finding experiential opportunities that fit your career goals. The AA&CC also offers drop-in appointments Monday to Friday – no appointment needed!

Statement on Acknowledgement of Traditional Land We would like to acknowledge this sacred land on which the University of Toronto operates. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.

We foster public awareness of the gifts and contributions of people with developmental disabilities Positions Available: What is the Host/Host Family process: Hosts are often met as the coordinator begins to look around the natural community of the individual with a disability and their family.

Why have a Host/Host Family connection: Host relationships have the potential to provide typical experiences, create mutual friendship, provide a safe social network and provide respite that friendships have the potential to create. So often whereas society tends to see the disability, in a host or friendship relationship, one sees the person and his or her strengths. Skills Developed:
