Career Fair Tips

  • Bring copies of your resume on resume paper.  Leave a copy with each representative you speak with.  You may just collect literature if you are not prepared.
  • Seniors – wear professional dress; other students should dress neatly.
  • Prepare a brief introduction of yourself and your interests.  Be ready to repeat it and give a firm handshake. 
  • Use our website links to research all the organizations in advance and be prepared to speak to the ones that interest you and value your qualifications.
  • Be flexible – you may identify a new opportunity by talking to the recruiters!
  • Be prepared to answer questions about your grades, work experience, and goals.
  • Ask for the recruiter's business card.  Be sure to shake hands when you leave the table.  Later that day, send a "thank you" note.
