And you're not too sure what exactly it is you want to pursue. Enter the wonderful world of job fairs. Walk in and you'll see a vista of opportunities light up before your eyes, options even within professions. You can talk to people from various companies, find recruiters who will tell you what they are looking for, compare different salary structures and perquisites and have the opportunity to see what's on offer. For someone just out of college looking for a job, job fairs hold immense potential. They are eye-openers to the big world of career opportunities outside the campus.

It also helps you to be exposed to the different kinds of interviews that different companies conduct. It is easier to ask a prospective employer questions about his company in a more objective setting. Most of all, it gives you the opportunity of choice. It is probably this that makes you know what you want or don't want. And this makes it easier to be clearer in your final decision. Job fairs are held for various professions. The burgeoning healthcare industry, for example has many such fairs all over the country.

Always remember to pick up all the available printed material from job fairs so you can read it at your leisure when you get back home. It's always good to look at the fine print. Also remember to pick up the free tote that most give to carry them so you're not distracted with a vast amount of brochures and material to manage. Go to as many job fairs as you can - you'll find the world of work unfolding its wonderful opportunities before you.
