Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring with me?

Participants are encouraged to have an elevator pitch ready (a brief way of introducing yourself and getting across a key point or two), 10 copies of their resume (two pages or less with up to last 10 years of employment), a notepad and a pen. Bring a folder to store collected flyers and business cards.

Will interviews be conducted?

Periodically, interviews are conducted on the spot, but all the employers should have jobs open on the CareerSource ESCAROSA website.

How should I dress?

Business casual or suits. Participants should avoid casual sandals, shorts, revealing clothing and anything with rips/holes.

Additional thoughts

LinkedIn and YouTube can be great resources on how to dress, resumes, elevator pitches, and other helpful information. If the participant is a veteran, military spouse, or dependent, the CareerSource ESCAROSA team can help with tailored career services to meet their needs.
