Omega Insights 💭 with Kelly Raimondi
"Career fair season is one of my favorite times of year. I get to meet students and job seekers who are just starting to figure out what they want their career to look like, and I love being part of that conversation.
Over the years, a few things have stood out about the candidates who leave a lasting impression. Here are my top tips for making the most of a career fair:
• Do a little homework. You don't need to memorize our website, but knowing who we are and what we build makes the conversation feel like a real connection.
• Come with a strong handshake and real eye contact. It sounds simple, but confidence goes a long way.
• Know your story. Be ready to share who you are, what you're studying or doing now, and what you're looking for next.
• Ask questions back. My favorite conversations are the ones where a candidate asks about our career paths, our culture, or what a day on one of our jobsites actually looks like.
• Follow up. A short thank-you note or a LinkedIn message afterward shows the kind of follow-through we value at Omega.
A career fair is about building a relationship, not just filling a position. If you're attending one this fall, come prepared, be yourself, and ask questions. And if you see Omega Construction's booth, I'd love to meet you."
