JOB FAIR PLAYBOOK
How to prepare for an official Michigan cannabis job fair
Use the days before an event to confirm employers, target roles and prepare stronger conversations.
Use the days before an event to confirm employers, target roles and prepare stronger conversations.
Confirm the event details
Check the date, time, venue, registration instructions, and organizer. For a designated cannabis recruiting area inside a broader job fair, contact Hired In Michigan to ask which cannabis employers and roles are confirmed.
Build a target list
Choose two or three kinds of work you can explain clearly. Review employer websites and active positions. Bring a focused resume rather than relying on a general document that does not show relevant experience.
Prepare proof points
Practice examples showing customer service, accuracy, safety, teamwork, attendance, problem-solving, or technical knowledge. Keep each example short enough to discuss in a busy recruiting setting.
Ask better questions
Ask what the employee does during a normal shift, where the work is located, how training works, which schedule needs coverage, and what the next hiring step will be.
Follow up with context
Record the recruiter’s name, role, and instructions. Send a concise follow-up that names the position and one useful point from your conversation. Complete any required application promptly.
