Vous avez rencontré des employeurs potentiels lors d’un événement. Comment pouvez-vous vous assurer qu’ils se souviennent de vous ?

Do some research of interesting people who you would like to be speak too before you attend the event is essential. I always try to highlight about 5-10 people (depending on the size of the event) to speak too and connect with them on Linkedin prior as well. Prepare short facts/figures about you and your business in advance, events are hectic and people are short on time. I always go the old school way of handing them a business card too, I find giving them something physical is not so common now so it can help them remember you!

Definitely do some preparation beforehand on the people you may be meeting. Practice active listening but most of all- have fun!

To ensure potential employers remember you after meeting at an event, engage in meaningful conversations, deliver a compelling elevator pitch, and exchange unique business cards. Follow up with a personalized email expressing gratitude, connect on LinkedIn, and share relevant content to reinforce your connection. Attend follow-up events, showcase your expertise on social media, and send a handwritten thank-you note for a personal touch. Participate in company initiatives, workshops, or webinars to demonstrate ongoing interest and commitment. Consistency in communication, professionalism, and active engagement will help leave a positive and lasting impression on employers.

To be memorable to potential employers after an event, actively engage in conversations, ask insightful questions, and highlight your unique skills. Exchange contact information and promptly send a personalized follow-up email expressing gratitude, referencing key points discussed, and reaffirming your interest. Include an updated resume or portfolio to reinforce your qualifications. Consistency in presenting your personal brand and a sincere, professional demeanor will help leave a lasting and positive impression.

Preparation is a continuous journey that aligns with your career path. Understanding the industry, conducting thorough research, and staying informed about target companies form the foundation. By consistently building knowledge, opportunities seamlessly merge with your preparedness. My friend exemplifies this, having diligently learned about her industry, and when the right opportunity arose, her thorough preparation became a key differentiator.

Moreover, focusing on providing solutions to your clients' problems is a game-changer. Instead of merely offering services, position yourself as a problem solver. Understand their pain points, challenges, and objectives. By offering tailored solutions that address their specific needs, you elevate your value proposition and position yourself as an indispensable ally in their success.

THIS! Be yourself, at all times! When you put on a facade to try to impress people, you're setting yourself up to fail. Even if that facade lands you a role, eventually - they'll catch on that the person they hired, isn't the real you. To me, some of the most memorable people I've met were also the most authentic. There is no one better to be than yourself!

It's easy to focus so much on credibility that you can lose out on authenticity. People ultimately connect with people so by being yourself you can build a more valuable and long lasting relationship.

Authenticity leaves a lasting impact. Avoid pretending or overstating skills. Honesty about your capabilities, experience, and aspirations is paramount. My friend, while slightly sales-oriented, authentically showcased her adaptability and eagerness to learn. Applying honestly, she secured a chance to demonstrate her abilities, aligning her skills with the job requirements and securing the opportunity.

It doesn't have to be complicated. Make things simple and use your own voice to communicate. Focus on having engaging conversations about the areas you're well-versed in, like industry trends or the role of particular technologies in your field of expertise. After the event, send them a personalized follow-up email. Reference a specific discussion you had and maybe include an interesting article or a unique insight. Also, make good use of LinkedIn. Connect with them and share relevant you know would be relevant to their needs. This keeps you in their mind even after the event. Occasionally, update them on your professional achievements or interesting things you're involved in. This helps you stay on their radar.

To stand out, go beyond the basics and showcase what sets you apart. My friend's memorable action was going the extra mile. At an event, she volunteered to help the company promote their product. Rapidly learning about the product, she assisted the company's booth, attracting more leads. This proactive engagement not only left a lasting impression but also directly led to her securing a sales position. Being memorable involves taking initiative and demonstrating value that extends beyond a typical encounter.

Being strategic in your follow-up is important for any sales role and can help make friends too! Depending on your conversation during the event, you can customize follow-ups from more casual to formal. (I opt for casual). In the same city? I'd invite them out for a quick coffee! In the same field? Share some industry insights you come across. Found what they do interesting? Send them an email/text with additional questions and eventually lead to an in-person. If you learned anything specific such as hobbies, you can interact with this in mind.

Show them their benefits if they have our connection. I guarantee they never skip that. People who is great in work always know the benefits of networking. For example: - If they are Sales, tell them about our market & clients - If they are IT, tell them about our Technology Short, detailed & straight-forward! A short 30s introduction & namecard is enough.

This strategic approach transcends mere contact maintenance; it's about cultivating meaningful, enduring connections that extend beyond initial engagements. As an expert in the field, leveraging these strategic practices positions you as a trusted authority, nurturing relationships that yield long-term benefits and collaborative opportunities.

Invest in your personal brand first! Be active in your community - attend meetups, write posts, expand your network and become an expert in your field. Before you make your company known as an Employer of Choice - You want to become a Recruiter of Choice

When meeting a potential future employer, it's crucial to leave a lasting impression. One effective strategy is to summarize key points of your conversation, reiterating how your skills and experiences align with their needs. Also, express your genuine interest in their company and suggest a follow-up meeting or conversation. This not only demonstrates your enthusiasm and engagement but also sets the stage for future interactions, leaving them with a clear sense of your potential value to their organization.

One of the best ways that we can do this is to treat your potential employers as your business partners. Engage them from a business networking perspective. You're not just there to find a potential job but you're also there to create connections. Let people know that you're serious about creating and adding value to them (on a personal level) or their businesses. Having a mutual win-win is how people will remember you best.
