Last weekend, we had a job fair here at Tucows. We hold job fairs at our Toronto headquarters every three or four months.

I spoke to Crystal McPhee who leads our recruiting to get some insider tips about how to make sure you make the best of a Tucows Job Fair. Here's the scoop:

1. Keeners come early. Arriving early in the day shows you're interested in the job.

2. Dress for success. Once you land the job with us, you get to work in a casual environment. However, first impressions count. So consider wearing business casual clothes to the job fair and not your favourite torn AC/DC t-shirt.

3. Be prepared. Bring a copy of your resume, a pen and a notebook. Brainstorm a list of questions and take notes.

4. Do your homework. Spend some time on our website and blog to learn about what we do and how we do it.

5. Be ready to answer questions and tell us why you want to work at Tucows. We'd like to hear the story of your career so far. You need to be able to tell us who you are, what you've done at previous jobs, how you work and why you'd be an asset to our team.

And there you have five easy tips to help you get the most from our job fairs.

We're always on the look-out for talented folks to join the herd. Click here to see a list of current job openings.
