Tips for a successful mingle
In order for you to get the most out of the meeting with the companies at the employer mingle, it is smart to prepare. Here we have gathered some tips that can help you along the way.
1. Read up on the employers
Find out which companies are coming to the mingle and check out what they are working on. Maybe your dream company is involved?
2. Prepare questions
Think of a few questions in advance, it makes it easier to talk. Maybe you want to know more about something on their website, or something related to your education. You can also ask what they thought of the lecture and what thoughts it evoked.
3. Think about what you are looking for
Tell employers where you are in your studies, what programme and year you are attending, and what you are interested in, degree projects, extra jobs or jobs after your studies. It helps them understand you better.
4. Create/update your LinkedIn profile
Before the employer mingle, it is a good idea to update your LinkedIn profile, or create one if you have not already done so. There are many guides online to help you make a really good profile. Ask the employers you talk to if you can add them to LinkedIn after the mingle.
5. Be yourself but dare to stand out
Employers meet a lot of students, so think about what makes you special. Do you have any experience or hobby that makes you unique? Bring it into the conversation.
6. Continue to network and make connections
