The registration can be done on line at www.thehindu.com or www.tmifirst.com/hf6/Index.aspx.
Once the registration acknowledgment is received, you can attend the fair to meet prospective employees. Suitable candidates will be short-listed and sent for interviews and tests at the venue. So come prepared, successful candidates can even get a job offer at the venue. If you are unable to meet all the recruiters you are interested in at the fair, you can register your name and submit your resume at these stalls and you could be called for an interview at a later date.
The key to make a visit to the job fair successful is to come prepared. The first thing to do as soon as you enter the venue is to check out the place; the various stalls and see where you could best fit in. A few pointers on how to be selective at the fair:
Take a walk around the stalls first, keep your eyes open to see which recruiters attract the most attention
Visit the stalls of those companies you would like to work for first then look at the others
Large and well-known companies will naturally attract the largest crowds; hence it may be wise to target smaller companies first
If you land up in a long line then take the time to review the facts about the company you have researched. Do a mental run of the answers you have prepared for possible interview questions. This will give you the confidence to face the interview
Another sensible thing to do while waiting is to get into conversation with other job seekers. This way you can exchange ideas, get a few leads and make the waiting time more pleasant
A fair is not a place to keep silent, make sure that you talk to all the recruiters who interest you. So that in the process you gain some information and maybe impress the recruiter to even land a job!
