	<span style="font-size:22px;">Career Fair Tips from Brion Energy</span></h2>
<h3>
	November 7, 2013</h3>
<p>
	Attending a career fair can be a great way to meet potential employers. No matter what industry you are in (or studying to be in), career fairs are often the first point of contact between employer and employee &mdash; and first impressions count! With hundreds or thousands of others vying for the same attention, how do you stand outfrom your competitors?</p>
<p>
	Kalyna Bilinski, Senior Recruiter at Brion Energy, has attended dozens of career fairs in her successful career in Human Resources. She is often the person standing at the booth taking questions, pre-screening potential applicants, and giving out swag. Watch for her, along with other Brion Energy employees, at our booth at the SAIT career fair on November 13, 2013.</p>
<p>
	Here are Kalyna&rsquo;s suggestions on how to make a lasting impression (and maybe even land a job) with Brion Energy at a career fair.</p>
<h3>
	Why employers are there</h3>
<p>
	&ldquo;Just like you want to stand out from the crowd, so do we. We are there to meet potential new hires, develop personal connections, and talk about all the great reasons to come work at Brion Energy. We always have a couple of our hiring managers at career fairs along with our Recruiting team. Come say hello, meet people from our different teams, and ask any questions about the company. We&rsquo;re there to see how you might fit into Brion in the future. If not now, maybe when the right position opens up or you have completed your education.&rdquo;</p>
<h3>
	What to bring</h3>
<p>
	&ldquo;Questions and a positive attitude. We love when people come to us and already know about Brion Energy, what we do, and our current opportunities. Visit<a href="http://www.buildingsomethingbig.com"> BuildingSomethingBig.com</a>, take a few notes, and come ask us whatever you wish. Thoughtful questions tell us you have done your research and are genuinely interested in a position with Brion Energy. Some companies may like resumes at career fairs but we prefer if you apply online. We see hundreds of people and resumes in one day at a career fair. While, resumes can get lost in the mix &mdash; strong first impressions do not.&rdquo;</p>
<h3>
	What makes a lasting impression</h3>
<p>
	&ldquo;Someone who is confident, has great questions and is professional. We love candidates who take the time learn about Brion Energy and already see how they could fit into our team; these are the people I remember when we meet face to face in an interview.&rdquo;</p>
<h3>
	What should I do after the career fair</h3>
<p>
	&ldquo;Check the website often and apply when you see a suitable job. Currently, there are 59 jobs available at<a href="http://www.buildingsomethingbig.com"> BuildingSomethingBig.com</a>, and it changes constantly so check back daily.&rdquo;</p>
<h3>
	Current needs</h3>
<p>
	&ldquo;We are looking for candidates to fill roles company-wide. From Power Engineers to Geologists, HSSE to Finance and even Corporate Strategy &amp; Development, we are building something big and need a big team to get us there.&rdquo;</p>
