With all the people coming out of college each year, it is exciting to get new employees to join our organization. We look for people fresh out of college so that we can train and mold them in our corporate culture to help create great synergy and efficiency. We changed this practice just five short years ago as we were having problems incorporating experienced employees into our company, and based on our new hiring practices we made the right choice. So, each year we make sure to have a booth at a number of college job fairs to let students know about us and get them interested in working with our company.
For the past few years, the job of setting up the booth was in the hands of James, our junior VP of human resources. But since he left our company in the spring, the void was open for someone to step up and fill his shoes. I volunteered for the position, and therefore I have the task of making a good impression on the new recruits.
Going over what we had done in the past few years at the job fairs, I noticed one thing: our booth was really not that aesthetically pleasing or different than any of our competitors. I found that really strange since we have been taught that our company is the best and that whatever we are doing on company time we have to portray the best image possible. So, I have decided to change up our booth a little bit this year and make our company shine.
In order to change things up a bit, I have ordered some trade show flooring to make the booth pop out, commissioned some professional displays, and started working on our information packs we will be giving out at the job fair. It has been a lot of work, but I think that the impression that we will make at this event will be nothing short of legendary. Everyone will want to work for us.
