plan the recruitment fair for approx. 6 weeks into the term
QUEST TEAMS
- Based on the results of your team's Needs Assessment, your team will need to create an elevator speech for next week's Recruitment Fair. Your goal is to use this speech to attract applicants to apply to join your team that possess talents and skills your team needs.
- Additionally, your team will need to develop a plan for next week's Recruitment Fair. How will your team set up a table in the lunch area that will encourage talented applicants to come your way? How will you rotate saying the elevator speech? How will you dress/ present yourselves?
- Next week you will report to your Quest class for attendance and then go to the lunch area. You will need to set up an area for your team quickly once you arrive. Your job is to draw 30 or more applicants over to your table to hear your elevator speech and learn about your Quest team. Your team wants to get applications from students that have skills and talents that your team is currently lacking based on your Needs Assessment.
An elevator speech is a clear, brief message about you and your team. It communicates the mission of your team, how your team benefits its target audience, and what you are looking for in new team members. It's typically about 30 seconds, the time it takes people to rise from the top to the bottom of a building in an elevator. Your speech can be used to recruit new members, as well as talking to other about your Quest project. It is important to have your speech memorized and practiced. You want it to sound natural and confident. Get comfortable with what you have to say so you can breeze through it when the time comes.

INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS
- Use the results of the personality test you completed last week to fill out applications to join a Quest team. Your Quest coach will provide you with applications to fill out.
- Next week you will report to your Quest class for attendance and then go to the lunch area. All existing and new Quest teams will be set up at the tables. Your job is to find up to 3 Quest teams that you would like to join and submit your application to the team. All teams will have a short elevator speech prepared to share with you that will explain their mission and what they are looking for in new members. The Quest team and Quest Council will make the final decisions on new membership.
