Career Fair - tips

• Be prepared. Bring copies of your resume. Research the background on the employers you are interested in.
• Dress professionally. You want to present a good first impression.
• Give yourself enough time. Arrive as early as possible. Realize that there may be crowds and you may need to wait to speak with some employers. Often fairs are less crowded in early hours and are busiest during the lunch hour and at the end.
• Orientation. Take a few minutes to review the map for the fair when you arrive.
• Prioritize. Start with the employers you are most interested.
• Take notes when you speak with the rep. You might need names, and other info later.
• Ask the rep for their business card and send a thank-you note the next day. The business card gives you the proper spelling of the representative's name, email, and phone number. Sending thank-you notes is a professional courteousy.
