Dear Nairaland users,
Have u been invited for People Prime Assestment Fair in July 26-27? then the info below may help.
GOOD LUCK

Make The Most Out of Your Career Fair Experience.
Career Fair success lies in effective preparation, and communication. Make sure to  research the employers you want to visit: learn about them, the positions they're looking to fill, and what type of candidates they're looking for.

Tip:  Arrive with a positive attitude
Have your 30 second commercial ready

Tip:  Bring at least 20 copies of your resume.

Fact: Employers only look at resumes an average of 10 seconds. Make sure you’re leaving employers with the impression - Hire Me!

Tip:  Do your research!
The more you know about a company, the more you can converse with the company representative and the more memorable you will be.


Tip:  Get the interviewer's business card.
If you are called for an interview, you will want to follow up with a letter that reinforces the points you made and the facts you learned.


Tip:  Maximize, Maximize, Maximize!
The lines might be daunting but don't fail to maximize this opportunity. Talk to every company that fits your experience and ambitions. If you meet with 20 recruiters, at the end of the day you will know 20 people by name. That sure beats sending a blind resume to "Personnel Director."


Tip:  Plan a few key questions!
Be ready to ask intelligent questions like asking how your skills might be utilized within the framework of the company and by asking questions about relevant news within that organization. Make sure to ask the recruiter what he or she likes best about the corporate culture to better assess if that company is right for you.


Tip:  Wear Proper Business Attire
First impressions count!

Follow-up.
Don't take the order of this key to mean it to be the least important; in fact, some would say it is one of the most important. You would be surprised at how few job-seekers actually take the time to follow-up their career fair interviews, thus when you do it, you will get an edge over the many others who do not. There are two main methods of follow-up. Some experts suggest actually calling the recruiter the evening of the fair and leaving a voicemail message thanking the recruiter again for his/her time that day. A more concrete and traditional method is to write a thank you note and mail it the next day to the address on the recruiter's business card. In the letter, thank the recruiter for his/her time, restate your interest and qualifications for the position, reiterate your interest in a second interview, and make a promise to follow-up the letter with a phone call (and then make sure you do in fact call). You probably should enclose another copy of your resume to be sure.

Dear Mr. Barnett,

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me at the Career Fair today. I certainly appreciate your time and attention in the midst of so many seeking jobs.

You were extremely thorough in explaining Aerial's customer service and marketing trainee program. Now that I have a better idea of what the position entails, I am even more sure that I would be an asset to your team and to Aerial.

My solid education from The University of benin's Marketing Department and the fact that I have worked my way through college show a work ethic and determination, two qualities you said were important to success at Aerial.

I look forward to an opportunity to visit Aerial's Tampa office and speak to you further about the trainee program. I will contact you next week to arrange an appointment.

Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Igwe Osita

Hello Helpmate,

Please, can u mention some of the likely companies to be present at the fair? This will help one to research these companies before the d-day. And the procedure to be used in meeting them?
i look forward to hearing from you soon.
Once again, thank you.

Please Nairalanders, remember the 2nd stage is assessment before the fair.
Helpmate---what are we to look forward to at the assessment

Please kindly tell us the various organisations that are likely to come to the peopleprime interview,

God bless nairalanders!!!

I got their invitation but was afraid that it's a scam. inform me guys.

hi guys,
i got a mail from them also n i'm contemplating whether to attend or not
i rili dnt like the idea of them starting at 3pm, why 3pm? n then we'll stay till God knows when
can so meone help me out

People Prime recruitment assessment is a step to the fair.
If u think it is a scam, then u can forget going to the fair.
I think because we are not used to recruitment fairs, we think everything is scam.
If they ask for a small token, why not pay and see what comes out.
Nothing comes for free.

Dear nairalanders, according to their site, some of their clients are:

Oando Plc
MTN Nigeria
BG Nigeria
Coca Cola Nigeria
Guinness Plc
Chevron Oil
BAT

so for those people asking the names of companies that might be at the fair, this is a clue

nairaland is the bomb. U guys should keep it up

nice one people.

May God bless Seun for this great work of Nairaland. [i]Wetin person for do wiithout Nairaland.[/i]Guys, keep it up

Now that we been invited 4 d fair. What is the probability that there won`t be any need for follow up after the fair, i mean; will the companies confirm to those they will be taking there and then after the fair? or will there be " we will reach u later"?
Any one with response to this?

Pls has anyone been invited from those that wrote in Lagos? I wrote in the Balmoral and still havent gotten my invitation, called them to confirm if I will be shortlisted and they specifically stated that no one has been invited from the Lagos zone. Is this true?

Thank you Obanikoro. I also attended the interview and exam at Balmoral in Lagos but do not hear any info about the next stage till this moment. I made effort to call some of my friend whom we met at the venue of the interview but also claim that no any info on it. Any one with info on Lagos centre should please help out.

hey guys, there is need for those dat havent seenn theirs to thoroughly check thier inbox and bulk mails.text messages were also sent to some people.this is an opportunity of a life time,i advice we all make guud use of it. those of u dat think its a scam,its a matter of choice. let God b d jugde. as 4 d companies to expect, my mail read dat they will send it TWO weeks b4 d fair. i wish all invited graduates all the best. we have to show them the stuff we are made of.luv y'all

Pls Helpmate or anyone in d house

What is this 30S Commercial all about?
Could ppl with lots of experienc include such in their CV or is this fair meant for Graduates with Little or no experience.

pls i want to know those that think is a scam didn't u write the test that others wrote b4 u were invited cos those of us that wrote in lagos have not even received our invitation letters. i want to know are they also inviting people that didn't write the test and go thru the preliminary interview. Thanks.

At this time we should try not to mix tins up.

There are some pple who are being invited for interviews but not for the Gfair.These category of pple are those that are registered with People prime and are called for test every now and then. They are totally different from the specific Gfair holding this month.That explains why some are wondering wat Gfair is all about.

Then there are those that were invited for the Gfair. They are those that wrote the test in May(Lagos, Abuja and PH) and passed. It should however be of note that none of those that wrote the test (for the Gfair) in Lagos has been called. I got this info authoritatively when I called their office to confirm. They however assured me that those from Lagos shortlisted will be contacted soon.

So Lagosians should relax. Love ya

above is a message that was sent to me by pplsprime.
only once have i paid to a recruitment agency and i have never stopped regretting. not the money, but the fact that i was stupid enuff to fall for that crap.
personally i dont think it is right for any recruiting firm to collect money from job seekers coz they have already being paid by the companies hiring them.
i wld also like to inform naira landers that pplsprime conduct such monthly test asking for 500 to be paid to a certain (always a diff name). but after the test, they dont even have the wisdom to carry the scam further to interview stage it just dies there. nobody gets to hear frm them again.
there is no difference btw pplsprime and the likes of esther breakthrough, primes avic. pss and other small time illiterate recruiting firm.
well guys if you wanna, loose your 1500, your credit, your transport fare and above all your time, u can start by registering with them now for the 'graduate recruitment fair'.

3000 JOBS? please guys there aint no such openings available now in Nigeria.

MTN? please those guys are bleeders what they go for theese days is contract staff.

please we r already being fooled by politicians coz our hands are tied but please let us refuse to be fooled by all theese so called recruiting firms coz with this, our HANDS AINT TIED.
